ligs Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 I have a pair of AR 18Bs which come with a pair of 8 inch woofers I have not seen before. From the front they look identical to AR 200037's(which I also have). From the back each woofer has a round magnet with 5 mm top plate and 25 mm total thickness of the magnet, both are similar to 200037, except the magnet is round not square. Additionally, the voice coil appears to be 1 inch not 1.5 inch (as in 200037) and the connectors are different. I have never seen a woofer from AR 18 BX or 18 BXI. Could this be one of those?

KlausDK Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 I am pretty sure that this is not original AR woofers.BRgds Klaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ligs Posted September 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 Thanks. THe round magnet woofers will be pitched unless someone wants to have them for free! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ra.ra Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 Your 8" woofers are not recognizable to me, but they appear to be well-built drivers, so I'd suggest not pitching them - - - just keep them around, they look too good to throw away.Pic and partial drawing attached of 8" woofer p/n 200037 from AR-18B.

michiganpat Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 hmm...they almost have a look of newer EPI/genesis woofers to me...IIRC most of those had a 1" VC.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnivore Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 According to this Ebay listing they're Bose 300 series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyC Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 According to this Ebay listing they're Bose 300 series.I was wondering it they could be Bose woofers. The connecting terminals are typical of Bose drivers. Wire would have been tightly wrapped around them multiple times when installed in Bose speakers....no solder or push on connectors.Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
