Goldwood Sound GW-208/8 OEM 8" Woofer 200 Watts 8ohm Replacement Speaker, Black

Nice speaker, can't complain. Used it replace a speaker in a 10 watt bass practice amp, sounds about as good as this amp can sound, better than the old speaker that wasn't blown, it was just a lousy speaker.

Inexpensive solution for a blown set of speakers. They work great and were easy to install.

I found a pair of 1990s JBL bookshelf speakers on a local online marketplace. Like many other 80s/90s speakers, the foam surrounds on the 8" drivers had turned to dust many years ago. While replacing the foam for $15-20 would have been the most economical choice, the paper on the driver was all wavy and misshapen. I didn't feel I could effectively refoam the original drivers in their lumpy condition, so I went to plan B.I found these Goldwoods, which matched the spec of the OE driver, so I popped for them. They were not an exact fit, as they were slightly larger in the mounting hole than the OE driver (not sure if it is that JBL used an atypical diameter driver or if these are atypically larger than the normal 8" driver). I had to open up the mounting hole about 1/4". So it ended up being a bigger project than I had initially envisioned. Just like every project I do!Not only was the speaker marginally larger, but the magnet was significantly larger. These were nice and heavy, and seemed well constructed.What I can say is that after a 30 minute detour in making the opening in the cabinet large enough for these to fit, I am happy with the results. They sound fine, seem pretty well-matched to the tweeters and look great. I'm driving them with a vintage Yamaha CA60 integrated amplifier, which is only 30WPC. I have no trouble driving these to relatively loud volumes and the bass is tight and clear. You aren't going to rattle the house with the deep notes of some hip-hop tracks, but as rock and roll/pop/country music speakers, these 8" drivers are a good match. If you had a powered sub, they would probably sound great..

Bought this to replace a buzzing JVC subwoofer for my surround sound system. Arrived intact and in a timely manner. Easy installation and sounds better than expected for the price. No more buzzing and very good deep bass tones.

Good product and price so far.

Returned for correct size. No problems.

I got a Free damaged Fender Rumble 15, all that was damaged was the speaker 8". So read on some fender forums about this Speaker, it is cheap or inexpensive so I gave the speaker a shot. To my surprise the bass speaker sounded great for my bass combo using a bass. Then I converted this bass combo into a speaker cab adding an instrument input direct to the speaker and another for the combo in the back. I then bought a small Joyo Tweed 20w head and plugged it in to the speaker using my 12 string. Man it sounds great! I can't believe I'm getting such a great sound from this speaker, sounds better than many guitar combo amps out there! So you don't have to buy a Celestion or a Eminence speaker because this little speaker has such a great sound, and I have various bass and guitar amps to compare to. I highly recommended this speaker you'll not only save some money but you'll be amazed at the sound.

Sounded so horrible it was funny. Returned that day.
