8" woofer ID please

[westend]

I bought these to replace a blown woofer in a pair of Philips cabs. Anybody recognize them?

You bought replacement drivers without knowing who made them or whether their parameters match the old drivers? :scratch2:
That being said, they have a ScanSpeak/Seas/Peerless/Audax look about them. Any numbers visible on them?

Yuppers, going on a wing and a prayer on this one. They replace 8" Philips woofers that are in a small two way sealed cab. The tweeter is also a Philips. The crossover is pretty simple, a first order job, it appears. These are my shop speakers and I have zero invested in them. The original woofers are very rare and I doubt I'll find any more of them. If necesary, I'll tweak the crossover and box or even build new boxes, not that I need another project.

They have stenciled numbers on the back but they ae sequential so methinks they are serial numbers and not a code number. When they get here, I'll see if the cones are numbered and that may lead to an answer. I was unable to find the maker of the original cabs so if this remains a mystery, that's right in keeping with what I have.

They look a lot like Vifas or Seas to me. Is that adhesive from the missing lables, or glue to hold vented pole covers in the center of the magnet structure?

I vote Vifa!

My first impulse was Vifa -- both the basket and the small glued label area suggested it to me, since the Vifa label was not big.
