lARrybody Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 The only 8 in. AR woofers with 8 mounting holes I have ever ran across are the 200001-1 woofer used in the AR 18, 17, 15 and 25. They all have smooth cones and foam surrounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 200027 LMR, for the 9's, 90's, and 94's, had 8 mounting holes as well. That makes me wonder if all these woofers were built on a common frame, with like parts? Even the impedance of my 90 and 18 drivers match. Which makes me think that these various woofers can substitute for one another, in a pinch?

Kal87bmw Posted December 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 As I said they were reconed and the mids have a double roll cloth surrounds cone material is different than any pics I’ve seen but the magnets and spiders are original I added the trim ring from my advents and the extra screws for good measure 8 holes why not 8 screws . I just was wondering if anyone else had there’s reconed. I put my Maggie 3.6rs aside so I’d say they sound damn good. I am an original guy so I’ll look for the correct cones but all have been redone in some form or another. Anyone have any spares or info that will help thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal87bmw Posted December 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 They also have the correct baskets 200027 and 200003 with the little red sticker although the guy had one of the woofers wired out of phase fixed that and more importantly gaskets and oually bass you all no about thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stimpy Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 Larry and I mentioned several different AR speakers, which could be used in your 9's. Also, there are 4 AR94Si woofer-midrange drivers (none mine) on eBay. They would probably work too. But, I'd first email the seller, and confirm the impedance is the correct 4.5 Ohms.

Kal87bmw Posted March 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 Was just looking for answers and I found the legacy focus speaker $20000 has the same cone material & double roll cloth surrounds on their midrange too. So mine should be good since they’re also a 4 way I’ve cranked them up for 4 months now and they sound great . 400 watts a channel so I’m selling the 3.6rs Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
