Radio Speakers Impedence

[MWbirdLOVER70]

Based on what? Please advise the power levels in Decibels (dBa) and distortion levels at what frequency range being measured. Its NOT a sole function of speaker impedance to device or wire size, or air density, or degrees of spark advance, or ported or manifold vacuum source....and not what is a perceived listening level, but using actual measured figures. Unless of course the methodology used to make the determination is based on the next door neighbor's cousin's sister's husband's best buddy's friend's determination down at the local watering hole on Tuesday...or, how high is up principle.....or not.....just talking out loud....

Wow this topic really got to complex for me to handle I’m out and sorry I commented at all. I’m out, have fun people

This is starting to go sideways! Anyway, I bought some 4 ohm speakers through Amazon. Anyone familiar with '63-'64 B-bodies know they have an odd sized front 7" round speaker that is impossible to find. I found a 6 1/2" speaker with an adapter plate that I was able to modify and make it fit. I got a pair of 3" round speakers that I will mount on the " B"-pillars, and a 6" X 9" oval for the package tray. Thanks to everyone for their input.

Glad you found something that works brother. Enjoy your ride and tunes. BeepBeep

It's just car radio, guys....where any good 8--10 ohm speaker load will work safely & sound loud enough & clear on any solid state car radio ...... New radios that allow 4 ohms will play good on 4 & up ohms ....Just not that critical for most apps.....

"Sounds" like (pun intended) that the good 'ole "seat of the pants" engineering principles (my way is the best and only way) out weigh the real principles of sound quality measurements and comparisons. "Just not that critical for most apps.....".....based on what criteria? Please define.....inquiring minds want to know.....

I don't think we need to open up the "door Knob" & start counting the germanium "As" dopant atom ppm or even pull out the o-scope or Impedance analyzer for this one...8--10 ohm speakers safely play & sound fine to my ears ..After all it's just vintage grade car radio & the sound is the thing ....As a side,... always thought the 4 x 6, 6 x 9 spkrs kinda strange....I mean, sound is Round,.... isn't it ??

Sound is neither round, square, or triangular but a complex series of time based, amplitude modulated electronic, or physically generated pulses, that are interpreted by the human ear.....as individually perceived....by the individual. Just talking out loud....

Using all this high performance audio equipment will likely necessitate the revamping of the alternator to a 150 amp unit, minimum, and the associated supply wiring and bulkhead connections, risking the perils of an ammeter gauge bursting into flames or melting down.....or.....oops....wrong thread......

Holy Crap! Don't get that going again, Bob!

With this to drive it

Much like your responses

I do enjoy the read though.

Just trying to keep it simple....allbeit similar to the concept of: how high is up or why is there air or which oil is best or........________________ fill in the blank (at your descreshion) with an appropriate euphemism......

In keeping it really simple, ... For whatever reasons, ...to my ears 8 ohm Round speakers while not always the loudest volumunit

 

[70rcode]

While not always the loudest playing, usually sound more musical &less distorted natural playing without getting "tired" ears....
