My new JB Premium has a very crackly sound, so I decided to get the speaker light kit and upgrade the backbox to 5.25".
I just got the standard Kenwood ones (I know I know, they are crap, but it's JB sound from 60 years ago and not a rock concert, so they should suffice and it's affordable).
I installed the lights and was playing without the backbox speakers because they won't come until this evening.
It turns out it's the cabinet speaker that emits the majority of the crackly distorted sound.
I need some help to fix that, ideally with a drop-in replacement. I don't need an amp - the machines run typically only on volume level 5 or 6, I just want no gramophone-esque or clipping distortion.
I found a link earlier in this thread to a lowpass filter: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B009D9KHZ2/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1
would that help?
Or should I get another speaker instead, or both?
As said, if I can get a drop-in replacement that would be ideal and I don't want to spend $200 on a speaker that is not exercised above 5% of what it can do either.
I've seen some 8" ceiling full-range speakers. OR should I go with a dedicated woofer (I suspect they are larger in size) and the lowpass filter?
Thanks for the help!
Edit:
Amazon suggested these subwoofer on the LP filter page:

They are in a price range that's suitable for me.
