Replacement Woofers for S45-2

7 replies

This is an old topic, and perhaps old threads will tell me everything there is to know.  

But just in case someone has new information, here goes:  I recently acquired an old set of S45-2 speakers and they sound fine, but a previous owner replaced the woofers and they don't match each other or the frame clips that hold them in place.  I believe the original peerless drivers are hard or impossible to find.  Is that true?  Has anyone found an acceptable replacement?  Am I on a futile quest and should just learn to live with my modified set of speakers?

It's not an easy one to replace unless with an original. I haven't found any modern replacements coming anywhere near the original specs.
The original woofer is unique to Beovox S45 (type 6302) and S45-2 (type 6312).

I have one original in the dungeons.
Are both of yours replacements or is one still original?

Out of curiosity, do you know what the T/S specs are for it and would you share them?

Both are replacement and mismatched woofers.  Tweeter and mid-range appear to be original.

What would it cost to buy and ship (to a US address) the one woofer you have?  That would at least put me half way to having an original set.  

And how would I know if the current set needs (or would benefit from) updated crossover capacitors?  

Thanks,

RS

Jef,

 

Sorry, I do not know the specs, but suspect you could find them somewhere in the archives of this site.

Capacitors - yes.  Kits are readily available.
PM or email me.

I was hoping Dillen might know them. If I had a woofer I could measure it, if I could remember where I put my TS measurement dongle that is. What a wonderful gadget that is, turns what used to be an hours long experience, at least for me with the old signal generators I had that drifted, into a 10 minute task.
