DRIVE UNITS BY MANUFACTURER:
18W/4434G00
This 180mm / 7" bass-midrange unit features the patented woven glassfibre NRSC cone offering a very benign and smooth sound. The ferrite magnet assembly is aluminium ringed (sometimes called Faraday rings) to control rising impedance at higher frequency which in turn offers a wider useable bandwidth. This unit is a solid choice for 2 way DIY designs and also finds many applications as a high quality replacement drive unit.
Combining some advanced features, this is a great performer at this price point. Available in 4 and 8 ohms.
This woofer is 4 Ohms ; the 8 Ohm version is here : 18W/8434G00
Resonant frequency (fs) | 47 Hz | Nominal impedance (Zn) | 4 Ω |
Mechanical Q factor (Qms) | 7.81 | DC resistance (Re) | 3 Ω |
Electrical Q factor (Qes) | 0.37 | RMS power handling | 55 W |
Total Q factor (Qts) | 0.35 | Sensitivity (2.83V/1m) | 90.9 dB |
Equivalent volume (Vas) | 20.7L | Chassis diameter | 180 mm |

I recently installed the Linn Keilidh active Tweeter Upgrade Kits from Willys Hifi. It works great! It took
1 month to get here snd had to pay an additional 90 euros in taxes and customs fees but it was well worth it!
The foam grill covers of my Mission 770s crumbled into dust many years ago. Only recently was I able to find what I thought would be a suitable replacement. Everything about the process went smoothly. The foam cut easily, looks good and, to my ears , is audibly transparent.
Finally got my electricity back today after the storm on Friday. Initially I was a bit apprehensive, as I had no experience in electronics. As I followed the colour coded looms, it got easier and more straightforward. Guess what! My Mission 753s sound better than they ever did in 1998 when I bought them brand new. New crossovers also brought one of my tweeters back to life (was dead for ten years) What a quality upgrade, worth every single penny. Willy and Caroline, you guys are legends.
Has fixed the slight grainy sound on my old Mission 771s. The tweeter had a stain on the back suggesting the fluid had escaped. Make sure you release(unsolder) the coil wires before splitting the tweeter. Audax have replacement tweeters TM025C1 albeit 8 ohm which is another way to go.
Couldn’t be happier, more detail, more clarity. Vocals massively improved and less harsh sounding. Thanks Willys hifi.
