DRIVE UNITS BY MANUFACTURER:
P280
Categories: 10-15 inch Bass Speakers Accuton Drive Units - All
The Accuton P280 is a high end passive radiator designed to complement the S280 range of drive units and features the same ceramic sandwich cone and multi spoke chassis.
Adjustable mass tuning is accomplished by adding / removing stainless steel weight discs giving a possible resonance range of between 15Hz - 45 Hz.
The stated nominal resonance frequency of the passive radiator is taken at 3mm excursion to give a realistic value.
Here's a formula to calculate the resonant frequency :
Fres= sqrt[1/(Cms corr.) x Mms x 4 pi^2)] with Cms corr.= 1/[(1/Cms) + 1/((Vb/Vas) x Cms)] ... phew! :0)
Resonant frequency (fs) | 18Hz | DC resistance (Re) | - |
Mechanical Q factor (Qms) | - | Power handling | - |
Electrical Q factor (Qes) | - | Sensitivity (2.83V/1m) | - |
Total Q factor (Qts) | - | Chassis diameter | 280mm |
Equivalent volume (Vas) | 226L | Cutout diameter | 252mm |

Been looking for a supplier of replacement drivers for some years.
Willy's HiFi had just the parts at a good price and they arrived in a couple of days.
Excellent service. Even a personal thank you hand written on the invoice.
A quick delivery and the tweeters are perfect on my mission 753 freedom speakers. Easy to fit . Highly recommend.
I’m no expert when it comes to speakers, but after some research (and a strong recommendation from ChatGPT), I went with the SB Acoustics SB65WBAC25-4 as a reference full-range speaker in this size range.
Having now tested them, I can confidently say they’re probably the best speakers I’ve ever owned. The clarity is outstanding—every detail comes through with incredible precision. The bass is surprisingly full and punchy for a speaker this size, and they handle power impressively well. For anyone looking for a high-performance compact full-range driver, these are hard to beat.
Item as described and arrived quickly - and did the job. However, I suggested that anyone replacing speaker foam makes sure they have a very large pair of sharp dressmaking scissors as it was not easy cutting to size without producing a ragged edge (which I managed to hide short of a close inspection)!
