Early C3: 4 X 6 Delco replacement speakers - 10 Ohms or not?
I've found some 'Delco' service replacement 4X6s available thru GM as
well as possibly some mail-order outfits claiming to be 'original replacements' or service replacements. Q: Anybody tried these or have personal experience or knowledge? Q: Are they in fact 10 ohms since they claim to be original replacements? Q: Do these newer Delco replacement 4X6s have larger ROUND magnets than the original smallish 'square' magnets? thanks |

Who sells them? A lot of the new speakers are just 8 ohm and they will fry
the DS501 power transistor.

I'm thinking I saw them in C Central. Also I believe GM services them. (not sure of the ohms and thus why I'm posting). I've got the part # around here somewhere - I'll post when I find it if interested. But I don't know the ohms of these newer GM replacements or those claiming to be 'correct' in the catalog (C Central I think) and thus my question...? Actually I think 8 ohms would be pretty safe w/ an early C3 amp. 8 ohms is probably in or darn close to teh tolerance for the early speakers of that era. If I could find some modern speakers w/ all the bells and whistles in 4X6 @ 8 ohms I'd probably consider them. I think what you are thinking of is the 4 ohm speakers - that's what all modern aftermarket speakers are nowadays. 4 ohms is certainly too much strain for an older amp like an early C3. It's a shame too because there are really good speakers w/ butyl surround and 2 way or better and modern cone materials. But 4 ohms isn't going to cut it. >"pgtr" <pgtr(deletethisandsubstituteatsymbol)bigfoot[ddot]com> wrote in >message ... >> I've found some 'Delco' service replacement 4X6s available thru GM as >> well as possibly some mail-order outfits claiming to be 'original >> replacements' or service replacements. >> >> Q: Anybody tried these or have personal experience or knowledge? >> >> Q: Are they in fact 10 ohms since they claim to be original >> replacements? >> >> Q: Do these newer Delco replacement 4X6s have larger ROUND magnets >> than the original smallish 'square' magnets? >> >> >> >> thanks |
