Appropriate woofer replacement - Energy ESM-2


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Iv got an old pair of some Energy ESM-2's from 1988. I recently replaced the foam on them, only to have the voice coils on them go not long after.

Since I cant find the brochure or manual online, Ill tell you as much as I can about them.

They have an 8" woofer, the speakers are rated for 100w RMS, I imagine the crossover can't handle much more.

Cut out diameter is 7 1/8" with the outside edge of the cut out being 8 1/4".

Box dimensions are 23 3/8 x 10 1/2 x 11 1/8 (H,W,D), outer dimensions. 3/4" MDF.

Box volume is 1894 cu in.

It has a 2" diameter port located beneath the woofer, it is 3 1/8" deep.

The box contains a wool stuffing, this makes the box "appear" bigger to the woofer, correct?

x-over is 2000hz.

Could anyone shed some light on some good 8's out there? I looked into Dayton audio, but the reference series are too big for the hole and I don't have the tools to make it any bigger. I'd also like to stay away from paper cones. I'd like to keep it under 100 CAD per woofer.

Cheers,

Nick
