deepthought 67 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Allen, If you have issues finding either of these woofers, which I think will be the case, there are some Scanspeak discovery 10" units that might be worth looking at as possible drop-in replacements. Mark Link to post Share on other sites
deepthought 67 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 This one might work too. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Peerless-830668-10-Paper-Cone-SLS-Subwoofer-/173950850505 In both cases, these woofers are a little bit larger in diameter than the Vifa so if they are recessed into the baffle and there is little or no gap around them then you might have to modify the baffle. Do you have any details of the kit? Link to post Share on other sites
Allanaudoiphile 0 Posted January 24 Author Share Posted January 24 Hi . Thanks for the advice ,but the plan is to go with the original drivers as the box is tuned to their specs . A long time ago I had one of the staff at scanspeak ( they imported mostly Scandinavian driver and speaker kits re calculate the port length for the long throw drivers. The original kit was published in Electronics Australia in 1987 If I cannot get Whole drivers I'll try and find somewhere I can get the voice coils re wound I may get lucky . haha. There were a pair for sale in the U.S.A but including shipping the cost was ridiculous. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites
deepthought 67 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 (edited) The VAS, resonant freq and QTS are quite similar on the Vifa and the Peerless drivers that I linked to which I why I pointed them out. But good luck with your search. Edited January 24 by deepthought Link to post Share on other sites
