Frequency response in original speakers compared to new 'woofers'?
Here's a question - I want to replace a speaker in my Missile Command cabaret project. Building a new cabinet, almost done, the original was rotten and cone on the original speaker was 'ratty'.
A 5&1/4" OD should fit perfectly in the original sized rabbeted hole, although the original had a squared off basket and was stapled in.
PartsExpress has, and this is pretty typical for this price- Goldwood 5&1/4 shielded for $13. New full range are super expensive and kinda obsolete. They have some woofers closer to $5, but the rubber surround sticks out and would touch the speaker grille. The freq range for that $13 speaker is 80-4,000 Hz.
I know this isn't hi-fi, but I also know the original cheap speakers weren't capable of a high range of freq. Would the typical 80-4000 Hz range in a new 'woofer/mid-woofer' cover what the original 'full range' was capable of, and the range of the sound output from the game?
Thanks in advance..
