Quoted from Neal_W:I see you replaced the original 8ohm speakers with their 4ohm speakers. Not sure if they had you change the wiring to series or something but normally that is a not a good idea to increase the load, which can damage the amp. Two 4 ohm speakers in series would equal 8 ohms and be safe for the amp.
If your not satisfied with them you could ask about returning them.
Thanks Neal,
Spot on
I sourced the Clarions locally, Pinball Life shipped the LED speaker kit which conveniently makes for a standoff
Yes SAM speakers are in series so the original load from factory is 2 x 8 ohms = 16 ohm load
Now installed Clarions reduced load 2 x 4 ohms = 8 ohms
I did not notice any improvement in audio level or quality.
So I do not see any gain to change back box speakers.
Even though cheap ass, the dynamic range and power handling of the factory units are fine.
I already have an upgraded cabinet speaker installed,
Next step was to install Pinbits sub kit , ( awesome product thank you Pinbits )
I used a cable tie to add some stain relief on those dirty big ferrite cores.
Hooked up and dialled in a bangin' sub I scored from a mate !
To bring the package together I also installed a Color LCD, (Hi Res mode set) Again another great product Thank you color DMD
This motivation was only made possible due to my IMDN LE arriving soon.
They will be the perfect pair and I want MET to stand up to that bad boy that is so near !
Ps,
Is it a problem to mount LCD hard up to panel ?
Seems to be okay.
Had a few drinks so ordinary play
