Centre speaker - need a measurement

[cataclysm80]

The magnets in original speakers have weakened with age.  Reconing doesn't do much to fix that.

It's nice to have speakers that work, but if you really plan to listen to them, then you want them to work Well.
Most aftermarket speakers use a larger ceramic magnet.
Turnswitch.com makes speakers with super magnets like you find inside computers.  They have 4 times the field strength of original speakers, and twice the field strength of typical aftermarket ceramic magnets, all while being small enough to look like the original speakers and fit without having to perform dash surgery.
Greg Ward has highly recommended them on numerous occasions.

Make sure you're running 8 ohm speakers with vintage radios & 4 ohm with newer radios (including conversion radios).

Where where you a few years ago when I needed all this info!!!  I was looking high and low for something like that!!!!!      I'm going to order one and see how it works.  Thank you sooooo much for sharing this info.

Good info for sure. Thanks for posting. Cody, maybe you should move it to the reference section.

I will have to keep turn switch in mind if I don't like my current setup.

With just the original AM radio, I didn't need anything better then stock.  The radio probably won't ever be turned on anyway.  With my latest project, I bought an aftermarket speaker adapter and mounted two smaller speakers in the same location as the original.

I just pulled this from an old post so I can't verify the # but this is who I sent mine to.

Got a hold of Ron McGee today from Jackson Speaker Service, thanks for the tip @Burdar ....
Right now he's in Ft.Meyers FLA for the winter but is still doing speakers down there.... (on the beach)

He charges $50/speaker for the 4X10's.

I mailed him four (4) of them just now

Well that's cool that you found a good place to get them done.

@burdar do you have a link or details on what adapter and speakers you bought?

@Burdar   Just fixing the above "mention" tag.      

To use the mention just select the members name when it drops down.  If you finish typing it the tags don't work.

Didn't notice that option via Tapatalk. Thanks
