Another Dirtstiff Speaker Thread

[willtill]

The lower the Ohm rating in the speakers, the more power they source from the amp. This results in more volume if the amp is capable/stable for the increased demand on it. If the amp is not stable at that load, it is not good for the amp.

A "perfect" amp will double its power output as the resistance halves until it hits its stability limits. (Example: 350wpc/8 Ohms, 700wpc/4 Ohms, 1,400 watts/2 Ohms).

That's a hell of a visual

What part of the speaker needs to be bent, I don't want to cut on the speaker.

9: and 3 ocklock approximately.
Look closely at my pictures on the first page of this thread.

There is the instrument glass and metal supports on the outside.

I bent the baskets with a rubber mallet and did no trimming.
Start the top in first, add sctews, then take a flat screw driver and hammer and tap the bottom of the speaker in flush.

Keep the holes lined up as you do this.
The bottom of the speaker has to be flush for the shelter to snap back on correctly.

Some are cutting the basket. Go back a few pages in this thread to see what has been cut. Don't cut into the rubber.

As Dirtstiff mentions, the areas that need to be relieved are approx. 9 & 3 O'clock but as you see in my post #97, it's slightly higher than that. To each his own but I felt cutting was easier than bending. Others may disagree. Not wanting to force fit against the plastic, I found it necessary to remove quite a bit of material so again, bending probably wasn't going to be adequate for me. Also, if you ever want to remove your meter panel, you will probably realize it will also mean unbolting the speakers. Even with the cuts, the fit is that close.

Yet one more item that I've ordered after surfing around on this forum. .

Yup. I fell victim to the LED headlamps/fog lamps/turn signals/tail lights......

So which speakers sound better...the JBL's or the new version of the J&M's? I read this entire thread and I don't know if the comparisons made are referring to the old J&M's or the new J&M's??
