Re[2]: {Chrysler 300} speakers

["Carl Bilter" <cbilter@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Bob,

The speaker impedance is listed in the Photofact print - see the parts 
list, look under speaker, voice coil impedance listed as 3 to 4 ohms.  
Modern 4 ohms speakers work great with the stock radios.  8 ohm will 
work ok too, not play as loud but maybe less distortion.  Modern 
speakers will sound much better than the original Mopar "deluxe" units.  
 John and I wrote a page on the letter car radios here:

> Can you shed some light on the speaker impedance of stock speakers in letter cars?  I'm wondering specifically about the  F & G, but in general if you can.  I looked at the Sam's Photofact schematic for the 5 and 7 button radios and can find nothing indicating speaker impedance.  As you know, many modern speakers are 4 ohm, would that place too much of a load on these old tube/transistor radios, or did they come with 4 Ohm speakers?

> coincidence but might help someone, restoring 300C convert front speaker is not 4x10 ( the usual  “ Other Size” from 6x9 ) but 5 x7 while not installed yet , just bought DS -18 speakers ( Amazon) based on reviews — 50$ for two , single center tweeter . Noticed 4x6 in same ad has many mounting holes , 6x9 too . seem good value especially w stock radio , at 50 W rms . Stock a wreck , tape on cone etc like 500 sold , good way to find what works , just fyi . hope it fits — only 2.5 deep . Sometimes big magnet on back is a problem in front jg
