Monitor distortion caused by speakers?
Shoegazer:
Hey thanks, guys - at just a few dollars, these magnets are definitely a lot less than the $60 or so I was going to pay for the other stuff.
A quick Google search pulled up this:
http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=329-212
Given that the bucking magnet's dimensions are 75mm x 32mm, I'm assuming 32mm is the measurement for the inner ring - I guess that makes sense, right? I just want to be sure I get the ones that are the closest fit for my 5.25-inch Sony Xplod speakers..
Thanks again,
Darren

You Don't want them to match up exactly. You're looking for a bucking magnet that is roughly 1/2 to 2/3 the size of the magnet on your speakers. Try checking the specs for your particular model. There should be an ounce value in there somewhere. Use that to determine the size of the magnet you need to purchase.
Or guess. ;)

Thanks for the tip. The speakers didn't come with very good documentation but at least the website posts the following dimensions for my speakers:
Frequency Response (Hz): 40-30,000
RMS Power (W): 45
Nominal Imp (Ohms): 4
Sensitivity 1W/1M (dB): 90
Max Power (W): 220
Cone Material: HOP/paper/PEI
Mounting Diameter (inch): 4-1/2
Diameter (inch): 4-1/2
Mounting Depth (inch): 1-13/16
I got that here: http://xplodsony.com/xplod/speakers/XS-V1342A
So it looks like the only useful information is the "4-1/2 inch" diameter measurement. I'm going to have to do some more digging to figure out what's best - I just expanded my search on Parts Express and found *seven* bucking magnets of various sizes and weights!
Thanks,
Darren

Well, the magnets are cheap enough that you could use the dimensions from those found on you speakers, calculate approximately what size you will need and buy several pairs in the general range.

Yup - that's exactly what I did. :cheers:
Can't wait to try them out. I hope they are better than my tuna fish can solution, which barely works at all! :banghead:
