Rare Spares or Rare Parts in Welshpool have them too. Not sure of price. Single or twin speakers.

Clay apologies for the Hijack - Neil the 240$ one is a far better speaker - dual cone and very solid - I havent connected mine up yet but I think Harv has one and very happy with the sound output - only thing I have notice thus far in fitting is you need to tweak the cover down at the edges to get a neat fit but otherwise fits straight in.

Sorry Clay :lol: I did have another look at the $240 one on evilbay this morning and it does look like pretty good quality and I think it is 140w so more than enough for the stereo that I have. Thanks for the feedback Wal.

The one I got is 16 ohm to suit the factory diamond dot mono am radio. Nothing fancy required. Modern stereo will require lower resistance jobs like 8 or 4 ohm.

Yep, I'm happy with the dual-cone speaker in Graces ute. Decent sound, and loud enough to make me wince when she plays Zim Pirate music through it. I got mine here:

I only listen to AM Radio National so I guess it’ll do me. You young folk and your crash crash thump thump tuneless flamin jungle music I don’t know. It’s an FB after all not a rocket ship. 8)

That clapped out, droney noise is just AM Radio National. Retune the radio :lol:

Sorry Clay... couldn't resist. I'm no better... I've got Radio National tuned in in the work ute.

Nice work Clay, so now there is room to expand your stock of spares? I'll keep an eye out for you to see what is out there :D
