Replacement Speaker Drivers for Acoustic Image Combos/Speaker Cabs

Unfortunately, these speakers are now fully sold out. Since they were a custom-made Eminence driver, and are no longer manufactured, they cannot be obtained any longer.

A more common replacement driver is an imperfect replacement; the speaker's design specification worked to perfectly complement the very small, infinite-baffle design of the unique Acoustic Image cabinets. Other speaker drivers may not perform nearly as well, but in the absence of perfection, "good enough" may need to be good enough.

Since the dimensions of the cabinet are fairly exacting as well, it's helpful to know what speakers may physically fit, and go from there. I will continue to post the suggestions I've come across (and please send me any that you've successfully tried so that I can share it with my other customers. Here's one driver that a customer has seen some success with:

Hey Mark, here's some info that your Acoustic Image customers may find helpful. I needed to replace the front-mounted speaker in my Ten2 combo, as it had blown. I moved the bottom-firing speaker to the front mounted position and bought a replacement for the bottom one. The magnet fits in the small inner space of the cab, and sounds great. Here's the info in case another customer asks for suggestions:

Note that I cannot personally vouch for these suggestions - they are provided as a courtesy. I hope they work out well for you!

Original information:

These are direct replacement speakers, custom-made by Eminence, for the Acoustic Image Series 4 speaker cabinets and combos. They were obtained directly from Acoustic Image and exist only in a limited quantity. Once these are gone, they will be unobtainable.

These have a very specific design, meant for the "infinite baffle" and small-cabinet designs used by Acoustic Image. They are NOT a standard driver, as they were manufactured exclusively for Acoustic Image. Dropping them into a standard speaker cabinet will NOT make that cabinet sound like an Acoustic Image cabinet, and will likely not provide satisfactory or useful results.

The speakers are rated at 8ohms. They may come with an assortment of stand-offs and rubber gaskets - various AI models needed them to properly align or "sit right" in the cabinet, so pay careful attention when disassembling your bad speaker to ensure that you use the correct spacers and gaskets for the best fit and performance of the new driver.
