i am looking for a 8" round speaker std ,i checked with Radio shack, do not carry them in the store anymore or online, checked Happ they only go to 5", also checked with my local Best Buys do not carry

8" Diameter
Full range
4 watt
8 ohm
 
Check out the car audio sections at Target/Worst Buy and buy some 8" cheapo speakers, although I think 8" specifically could be hard to come by.

What game is it from? I think I have some speakers laying around at home.
 
It's going to be tough to find a full range 8" speaker. Why not just use a smaller speaker and make an adapter ring? I would assume it is behind a grill anyway...
 
Im looking as well for a Dragon's Lair...

For what its worth the orginal speakers were Technics(panasonic) same specs as you listed.
Some of the old speaker repair shops may have second hand..

Another member brought up a good point...be cautious w. the size of the magnet as it may distort the monitor
(based on your use)

Let me know what you find...Ill do the same
 
8" speakers

Antique electronic supply and MCM electronics have 8" speakers in various impedances and power ratings. There are probably a lot of other places too, but I KNOW that these 2 places have them. A lot of antique radios and musical instrument amplifiers use 8".

He says that he only ships 60 miles from St. Louis-but that is mainly for the really high end stereo equipment you probably never even heard of with territory locks and not allowing internet sales. I used to work for him when he had a real "Brick & Mortar" store and was in business with that for around 30+ years. He now runs his business from his house and still doing a great job at it. I installed Car & home stereos with him and he IS THE MAN to get replacement speakers, custom crossover parts, cabinet parts, etc. from. He has sooooooo many speakers when I helped him move all his stuff to his house 6 years ago. If he doesn't have it, he knows where to get it. I wish I got some equipment from him when I got my severance package from him. He is a great guy to deal with.
 
Hey guys, can any small speaker be used or do you really have to mach the oem stats?

My simpsons cabinet did not come with speakers so I connected 2 stock ford car front speakers and they work great but I am not sure if are right rating or not???
 
I stuck an old stock speaker from my Dodge Shadow in my Defender I am working on and it not only sounds better than the old one, but it sounds better than it did when it was in my car!

Parts Express is also a good place for speakers.
