Help! I Need to replace a woofer
« on: 12 Aug 2006, 03:49 pm »
My apologies if this is in the wrong forum, but it's a diy repair and I have little experience. I have a pair of old, no name, garage speakers and the 8" woofer is blown in one of them. I was surprised when I disassembled blown speaker to see the two drivers were wired directly together with only a small capacitor residing between the tweeter and the woofer located on the "neg" wire. I guess I was expecting some kind of cross over, but then again these are cheap, cheap, cheap speakers. The woofer doesn't indicate the ohms, but the tweeter indicates it's 8 ohms, should I assume the replacement woofer should be eight as well? Also, if I replace the woofer in both speakers does it matter what ohm they are?

Thanx!!!
