I Think These Fishers Look Better In White...

oldskool69 - 2008-08-25 18:10

Well, it was late at night and my day was winding down. I got to thinking...I had already found some original white Fisher 6" woofs and matching tweet for my PH-460, what about the PH-480???

Well as luck would have it...I found some 8" woofs and matching tweets!!! Lighting does strike twice!

As always, old white speakers look well...old. So out comes the acrylics and the whitening begins. The replacements were perfect matches sensitivity wise the only diffrence being resisitance on the ones for the 480 (8ohms vs. 4ohms) but there is no drop off in performance as these have plenty of power to spare. Even the chrome cap sizes were pefect matches for both.

Here they are...What do ya think?

(If anyone has photos of the 460/480 with original speakers please post as I cannot find mine to use for comparison.)

Thanks guys! The best part of the excercise is that the replacement speakers are Fishers themselves! Big Grin

jvc.floyd - 2008-08-25 19:38

Brilliant work OldSkool! They look super clean and devastatingly mean!

Gotta score one of those Fisher's one day. Wonder if they were rebadged in Australia? Don't remember seeing anything Fisher branded here before.



Rock On.

I think they look far more fetching with the new woofers,good selection! They're really clean and in wonderful shape,consider it a job well done!

thafuzz - 2008-08-26 20:24

Say, Oldy, If you happen to have another set of white 8" woofers layin' around....... Wink Wink

redbenjoe - 2008-08-26 20:28

erniejade - 2008-08-27 11:44

I actually have not used mine for quite some time. I should fire it up.

oldskool69 - 2008-08-27 16:43

Fellow white woofer lovers...if I stumble on a set ya'll be the first to know. Big Grin

redbenjoe - 2008-08-27 16:46

ok oldy --so far you have orders for only 3 pairs --

no problem -- right ?? Smile

oldskool69 - 2008-08-27 16:51

Sure no problem at all...as long as you're extremely patient...ask Fatdog! Laugh Out Loud

(Time is always a crunch at this time of year but as I hit the thrifties, I'll keep this thread in mind.)

redbenjoe - 2008-08-27 17:56

you might want to re-think this bit --
