replacement speaker

The main problem with that speaker is that it does not fit in a lot of applications. It is a high quality speaker much better than any MTH stock speaker I have found. If fitted in,it gets rid of that tinny sound even with out baffling. If you can baffle, it is even better. I purchased a bunch for $14 a while back but the price of them have gone up. Remember this is a 4 ohm speaker,always match impedance. You can go higher but not lower.

Could you give a link or part number for the speaker? Do the manufacturers label their speakers as 4 ohm, 8 ohms, etc? Or do you just disconnect a wire and measure? Thanks.

Manufacturers should list the impedance of the speaker.  You can get an approximation using an ohmmeter.

Yeah, can you provide the part number for the speaker?

I believe it was here:

 As you can see in the line above it's 4 ohms. Sounds pretty good for a 2".

 This is the alternate speaker Dale listed here:

He provides a lot of help to us!

I have also found upgrading the speakers makes a huge difference. Getting them to fit can be a challenge if not a direct replacement speaker. 

 I should mention that there's plenty of space in the 3rd rail tender for a speaker like this. It would not fit in a diesel I imagine? I had considered even a larger more powerfull model. I think you have to find a balance where quality is achieved with reasonable effort.

Any chance you have a pictureof that speaker next to a stock MTH?

 

Never mind. I am see it on the JCS site. Thanks
