Key Features
The HSA1299-01Q is a compact full-range or mid-range driver featuring a treated paper cone with a cloth surround and a robust steel mounting frame with pre-drilled holes for easy installation. The driver uses a shielded magnet assembly, making it suitable for use near CRT displays or other magnetically sensitive equipment, though this consideration is less relevant in modern systems. The 8Ω impedance makes it compatible with the vast majority of amplifier outputs and passive crossover designs.
The approximately 100mm cone diameter and square mounting plate design are typical of JVC’s approach to modular speaker construction during this period, allowing for straightforward replacement in damaged or worn cabinets. The driver’s relatively light weight and compact footprint made it popular in bookshelf and compact floor-standing designs where space efficiency was a priority.

Important Owner’s Notes
This is a replacement driver sold as a spare part. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to confirm compatibility with their specific loudspeaker model before installation. While the HSA1299 series was used across multiple JVC models, variations in cabinet design, crossover networks, and intended frequency response mean that not all JVC speakers will accept this driver as a direct drop-in replacement.
If you are replacing a damaged driver, we recommend checking the impedance marking on your existing unit to ensure it matches (this is the 8Ω version; other suffix codes such as 01V and 02D indicate different impedance ratings, typically 6Ω). The mounting hole spacing and depth should also be verified before purchase.
JVC no longer manufactures this part, and availability of original replacement drivers for vintage JVC speakers is becoming increasingly limited.
