Fisher Speakers

[marktd]

I recently bought the drivers and crossovers from a pair of Fisher XP 7B speakers. I am going to attempt to re-capture something of the sound of the console I first heard Duane Allman and Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, etc. guitars on, I suppose I'll need a Fisher 400 reciever as well. For now, I am looking for any help I can get on building the cabinets for the Fisher Speakers. I don't have any idea even what the dimensions were on the cainets my drivers came from. Any help is appreciated. Mark:)

If you have the following specs for your woofer you can calculate the box size, either ported or sealed: Qts(resonant factor); Vas (equivalent air load); Fs(resonant frequency)

There are several web sites that have freeware box size calculators that you can use.

Good Luck! HG :cool:

Fisher speakers (like the XP 7B) aren't highly sought around here ... and therefore go cheap ($40 or less a pair) ... don't know about Northern CA ... it might be easier ... and probably less expensive ... to buy a pair of XP 7Bs than to make cabinets for your drivers.

I have a pair of XP 7S's (need refoaming) ... bought new in the early '70s ... that I would give you (if you lived close by).
