With a ll original 9.5' woofer and the 2' famous fried egg tweeters and grill covers.

The bottom two are the 'New Large Advent' on the left, and the 5002/5012 on the right. The first four are for the OLA - one shows the full 'stock' configuration, with the switch and all parts, the other three show the circuit in reduced form for each switch position. The latter used Ferrofluid, and uses a different crossover. The first two used similar tweeters, often refered to as the 'fried egg tweeter', with the first showing a raised mounting panel and the 'NLA' version flush-mounted on a metal plate. This woofer was continued in use for the 5002. The 'New' version has a custom-stamped basket that fits a 12' hole but supports the 10' cone/surround with metal. The original uses a Masonite ring to mount the cone in a twelve-inch basket, and had an 'inverted' surround to clear the grill. There are essentially three generations of it: the 'original', or 'OLA', the 'New Large Advent', or 'NLA', which I have seen marked on the rear as the 'A3', and the 5002/5012.Īll three used ten-inch woofers that were similar in function, although different in appearance.
