Description
Offered for your consideration is one (1) vintage YAMAHA model number JA-1801 7 inch (18cm) woofer removed from my NS-10M two-way monitor speakers, manufactured in Japan c.1988. This is the same quality mid/bass driver also used in the NS-10, NS-615, and possibly other high-end YAMAHA speakers, but buyer is responsible for verifying its suitability for any model other than NS-10M. So, please have a look at the large photos I’ve taken and read the remaining description to decide if this outstanding YAMAHA woofer is correct for your needs. This YAMAHA JA-1801 woofer is in clean, excellent condition. The sturdy seamed white paper cone is in perfect shape with no cracks, stains, or yellowing, and the voice coil dustcap is dimple-free perfect as pictured! Plus, the surround is permanent textile, factory-coated for extra strength and durability, instead of the fragile foam widely used by most companies in the 1980’s. And, the black anodized steel basket is in nice condition with no dings, scratches, or oxidation noted. YAMAHA soldered all driver connections, so I’ve left a few inches of the +/- wires attached to the terminals for the new owner’s convenience when splicing-in to their speaker. Overall, this capable YAMAHA woofer is exceptionally well-preserved! More importantly, it’s been fully tested and sounds terrific—very strong and clear with fast, detailed midrange and stout bass response for the platform size. Plus, I tested its DC resistance at 6.7-6.9?, consistent with a nominal 8 ohm driver rating. Lastly, the basket measures just over 7” square (8¼” at truncated corners), it stands 3?” tall, and the mounting holes are spaced 5?” adjacent / 7½” diagonal apart, c-t-c. So, if you have a blown or damaged woofer in your YAMAHA NS-10M, or other suitable model, this is a nice find—your cherished monitor speakers will be sounding their finest once again in no time! As pictured and described, this splendid YAMAHA JA-1801 7” woofer is offered at a competitive price.
