Blowing VINTAGE Speakers

Today the theme is old, After taking a walk through my parts storage I had found 5 vintage speaker drivers, How I ended up with them or what they were from is unknown, However today we see what they can do when given power from a pro audio mixer !

    These Octagon speakers are made by Philips in Holland. Those you have was probably coming from an old radio. In the 1970, Philips made a fantastic woofer called AD8066, which is included in many high quality speakers. I use 12 of them in my PA system and they works very great. They have rubber surrounds and hard plastic dustcap

    I used to own a set of classic Philips speakers (probably from the late 70's to early 80's). These ones had the 8" woofers with hard dust caps and rubber surrounds, as well as passive radiators. I remember those speakers sounding really good. The woofers had some crazy excursion capabilities (around 25mm total I believe)

    First speaker is a Norelco (Phillips) AD 8068. a pretty good 8 inch speaker capable of full range from about 60 Hz to about 12 kHz. Box it up in about 1 cubic foot and it will sound pretty good. Unfortunately you destroyed it. Second speaker is unknown, but not bad. Third speaker is another Norelco full range, possibly another AD 8068. . The Norelcos can be reconed and they can be pretty good. They will be pretty efficient and make a lot of sound with not much power. 5 watts will get you a nice clear full range sound. With cheap amplifier power, we are into a new philosophy, which is inefficient speakers and pushing them with lots of watts. Old way was efficient speakers with not much power. I had a pair of Altec A7 speakers which I could drive with a McIntosh MC 250 that gave good clear sound from about 50 to 15,000 Hz and 94 dB in 10th row of 1000 seat hall, measured at 5 watts per speaker.

    Those octagon speakers are actually made by Philips. They've been used in a ton of different things, some not having a whizzer cone (the Philips D8444 boombox uses a variant of it as the woofer) and/or having slight differences in size. They all share the same funky basket design though. I believe they were made from the 60's-70's.

    As MultiShit said (Excellent name, by the way) they're a part of history. They've been around for so long, and I just have respect for ancient technology that's been around sometimes longer than the oldest people on earth. It's like a portal to a completely different time. I just find it sad when this old and increasingly rare stuff gets destroyed. One day this stuff will be so hard to find, and perhaps eventually nearly extinct.

    apersonthingy So wait. You know how speakers work right? You know that apart from the AlNiCo magnet ones the others are exactly like new speakers but just older? I can understand if something has contributed to audio equipment history or maybe it’s something rare and valuable and hard to find, but these are nothing, they don’t have history or any kind of special trait. They’re just old and forgettable. If anything, these should remember us that people in 70s and 80s found these perfectly acceptable and that was stupid. They’re just old pieces of metal and paper, nothing worthwhile nor worth anyone’s wasted time trying to save them

    Most likely not. Note the aluminum VC former - speakers of that era only used paper formers. Aluminum was more commonplace starting in the 60's and 70's. Note the date code next to the manufacturer EIA says "703", implying it was made on the 3rd wk of 1967.

    i have, had a shitty laptop speaker set i took apart just to hook the speakers to a 500 watt amp i had. the first one didn't do much, just some smoke, the the second one i cranked the volume all the way up and played a very bassy track, the song hit a good note, the coil tore free of the spider, ripped the cone, and lit on fire, keep in mide this all happened within the span of one second. because i was in my garage, i let it burn all the way through, where the amp kept going and eventually the coil shot sparks everywhere and lit itself up even more. the thing eventually melted all the way through and all that was left was a lump of plastic and the metal basket. to this day i have not recreated it and condenser it the best blow i ever did.

The other round ones with the 8 screw holes were almost definitely Philips as others pointed out. The really old oval one was, as we all know, a Motorola.

    That first speaker you blew is an advent speaker. I have the same pair but I have no clue what the model number is. Nice if your recording some vocals, nothing toooooo bassy.

    It's sad that the speakers blew with simple music

    That tune would have worked well in Shinobi or Streets of Rage. Yuzo Koshiro would have been proud!
