speaker help..

shorthair:

Based on your last, I'd suggest you go do some basic research into how speakers work, electrically, before you start.

RayB:

I bought Bob's 5 watt 8 ohm speakers, and a set of cheap PC speakers ($25) and YES all I did was swap in the new speakers. Petty easy stuff.



shorthair:

I didn't see anything in the oscar article about matching ohms, so I figured they were the same - usually anything not car or instrument-related is - but it pays to make sure.

Those would work fine. If you want the gill, Bob Roberts sells them to match http://www.therealbobroberts.net/

What I did with the grill, because you could see the speaker still behind it, was take a pair of black stockings my girlfriend had already torn, and cut them to fit. I then glued them to the back of the grill and mounted it.

The speaker combo and PC set would work find. You can go even cheaper on the PC speaker set, if you can find it. I think I got mine on Ebay for $5.
