Recommended Posts

In my search for repair or replacement woofers for my little A-40's I came across this site. I thought I would share the results of my search for a suitable replacement woofer for my little gems.

They are very close to the original, a little tighter in the bottom due to the different surround. This could be considered an upgrade depending on your point of view.

I hope this helpful.

Boston Acoustic A40 series 1 replacement woofer: 40 watts / 40 - 5000 Hz / 1" voice coil

The original A40 series 1 woofers has been discontinued from Boston Acoustics. The 4 ohm woofer is a great replacement for the Boston Acoustics A40 series I woofer. All the specs and parameters were copied to ensure similar sound and exact physical fit. Same impedance (Re: 3.5 ohm), basket size and screw holes, so you do not have to modify the cabinet at all. The outside diameter is 6.57".

This woofer features a polypropylene cone with santoprene rubber surround.
