Car Speakers???
numbnutz48:
Does anyone have any experience mounting and using car speakers for their cabinet? I'm looking to buy a pair of 4" x 6" speakers and wire them to a powered PC setup?
Suppose it will do the trick??

I used Sony X-Plod car speakers in my arcade cabinet. From what I can remember mounting the speakers was not that hard.
Hope this article helps you out:

Sweet! Thanks for the article!
That's exactly what I was planning to do
protokatie:
make sure to look at the Ohms rating on the speakers vs the amp. If they are too different then something will get hot (in the case of car speakers with a home amp, the speakers may be the things to get hot). I have never had a problem with this personally, but just a warning. Basically, don't crank the volume all the way up.
The reverse is true with using home speakers in a car, you can blow your car stereo that way as the amp in it will get too hot due to the higher resistance of the home speakers.

Don't go with the oval ones. Its very hard to make a nice hole for them. Circles can be made perfect with a router.
