Eminence Beta-8 woofer with Hemp Cone 16 ohm

Custom Eminence Beta-8 with hemp cone 16 Ohm

Replacement Part - This 16 ohm woofer is a customized Beta-8 used in Jeff Bagby's Fusion-8 Alchemy dual woofer center channel speaker design and the dual woofer tower design. Specs are pretty much like the 8 ohm woofer, except it's the 16 ohm version so two could be wired in parallel for an 8 ohm speaker. Eminence had the cones custom made specifically for the DIY community so they weren't purple like the originals. Hemp was used as the cone material to keep it very light weight and strong. A green dye was added to give it an unmistakable look. It has a slightly smoother frequency response than the original Beta-8, but the overall specs are the same.  Jeff thought the sound was very nice and swore it was better than the original Beta-8. He thought the different dust cap was likely the reason why it had a smoother response, but he wasn't sure why he liked the sound of it better than the purple coned model. I joked with him that the hemp had gone to his head!

• Brand new, never mounted, in original box.
• Used in the single woofer version of the Fusion-8 Alchemy center channel and tower.
