  |
|
There is a thread that's about 3 years old on this topic but in the interim Pioneer has stopped making the speaker that seemed to be the low cost replacement of choice, the Pioneer A11EC80-02F 4-1/2".
Has anyone recently found a replacement? I could just re-foam my drivers I suppose but would rather not if there is a cheaper solution. The closest All Parts could come was a 4" driver but I'd rather the solution not be a janky looking thing - who wants that, amiright?

I've looked into those Maplin but they won't ship outside the UK. Been conferring with cabinet building buddy and the speaker pickings are real slim to non-existent. Parts Express has no 4.5 drivers in 8 ohms - just not a hot seller these days. It seems like it would just be cheaper to build some DIY Auratones with 4 ohm speakers - though I cannot recall if the one's on Parts Express with full range - at the very least they were only 10 a piece.

Would something like this work?

well hot damn - I bet those would work just fine!
Though for those of us looking for two, at $100 a pair I might still just build my own...
Or maybe that's a pair?
good eye!
oh stupid question - it says pair in the heading.
Damn - I have a fellow who will sell me an original pair for the same price but have not heard back from him....
decisions, decisions...

They rock.
They are still open.
I got my replacements there.
Cheers
