| Necro:
For some reason I'm thinking magnets near a fluorescent tube causes some issues. I don't know why I think this or where I read it, but anyone know either way? I'm wondering if U360's next to the lower bezel on my cab (Omega Race, lower bezel is lit by a fluorescent light) are going to cause it to flicker or act odd BEFORE I spend the money on the U360's. |

Quite a few cabinets have a fluorecent marquee light within close proximity to the speaker magnets without causing any problems. |

You may have the magnet vibrate if its near to the ballast and its an old wire-wound one, but that would be the same with any metal near it in any case, and even the crap old wire-wound ones are usually pretty tight with containing their magnetic fields. The tubes have no effect that I have seen at all. |

unshielded speakers near to a crt cause problems,perhaps you had seen a note about magnets near a tube and the author meant a television tube rather than a flo tube |
| AcidArmitage:
maybe cold cathode tube got mixed up with cathode ray tube? |
