Need advice on buying speakers
« on: July 18, 2009, 09:22:18 am »
Bought these speakers and they really stink.



Standard Arcade Speakers (1 Pair)
4 Inch, 5 Watt, 8 Ohm


It said "standard arcade speakers" but they don't get very loud and crackle when I turn the volume up on my UMK3 PCB.

Does anybody know where I can find better speakers or have any suggestions what I should get?

You could look for "full range drivers" at http://parts-express.com or find a pair of good car stereo speakers that are the same size. Find out what the ohms are on the speakers you originally had in there (4 or 8) and match it.

Yah something like this, for $2.50 each should do the job nicely:
