________________________________________________

I`ve found some `Delco` service replacement 4X6s available thru GM as

well as possibly some mail-order outfits claiming to be `original

replacements` or service replacements.

Q: Anybody tried these or have personal experience or knowledge?

Q: Are they in fact 10 ohms since they claim to be original

replacements?

Q: Do these newer Delco replacement 4X6s have larger ROUND magnets

than the original smallish `square` magnets?

thanks

Who sells them? A lot of the new speakers are just 8 ohm and they will fry

the DS501 power transistor.

Hi Tom,

You would ask that - and darned if I have the info handy offhand. I`m

thinking I saw them in C Central.

Also I believe GM services them. (not sure of the ohms and thus why

I`m posting). I`ve got the part # around here somewhere - I`ll post

when I find it if interested.

But I don`t know the ohms of these newer GM replacements or those

claiming to be `correct` in the catalog (C Central I think) and thus

my question...?

Actually I think 8 ohms would be pretty safe w/ an early C3 amp. 8

ohms is probably in or darn close to teh tolerance for the early

speakers of that era. If I could find some modern speakers w/ all the

bells and whistles in 4X6 (at) 8 ohms I`d probably consider them.

I think what you are thinking of is the 4 ohm speakers - that`s what

all modern aftermarket speakers are nowadays. 4 ohms is certainly too

much strain for an older amp like an early C3. It`s a shame too

because there are really good speakers w/ butyl surround and 2 way or

better and modern cone materials. But 4 ohms isn`t going to cut it.

Title: McLaren MP4-12C

McLaren returned back by its new monster McLaren MP4-12C . Behind the tub sits a twin-turbo 3.8-liter V8 engine producing around 600 horsepower and 433 lb-ft of torque, offering what McLaren claims is the highest horsepower to CO2 ratio of any internal combustion engine on the market – gasoline, diesel or even hybrid. Contrary to earlier speculation that suggested Mercedes could continue furnishing its erstwhile partner with at least the engine blocks while producing its own SLS supercar and furnishing Pagani as well, McLaren says the unit was developed entirely in house. The bespoke mill features a flat-plane crank, dry sump and can rev up to 8,500 rpm, though 80% of the torque is said to be available from as low as 2,000 rpm. That ought to be good for a 0-60 time in the low threes and a 200+ mph top end.
