Philips AD8080 substitute

smile44 · 13th August 2008, 09:27 PM

Hi,

I'm building a small guitar amp, that I ran into a Philips AD8080 speaker, and it sounded very good !

I would like to find the closest modern substitute possible for these Philips AD8080/M4 or AD8080/M8 (dual cone, 4 or 8 ohms...).

Thanks for your help !

Manuel

Well, thanks for the links, but actually, I already own a bunch of them. What I'm looking for is a modern substitute for it, still in production. Is there anything close to that ?

Hi,

What was your set-up, I often see these models on e-bay and I always wonder the set-up used since I am not able to find any t/s param anywhere on the web.

Do you run them open baffle.

Regards,
Eric

I left them in their cardboard box....

Works OK though...

I'm also looking for their technical characteristics to build a bass reflex enclosure : this may seems interesting ? AD8080 technical data

Bonjour Smile44,

These are intended for OB since the magnet is so small (high Qts), you may find something good by Eminence speaker, they have a whole section on guitar speakers, see link below.

Eminence guitar spkrs.

Salutations,
Eric
