Hi All,

Can I use a speaker with 6-Ohm impedance to replace the same size and watt, 4-Ohm speaker?

Alexis

You can, the major effect is you'll lose some output power. But overall that shouldn't be all that much. Your losing about 36% power since impedance is not a linear function.

If the speaker is really efficient, it may overcome some of the power loss.....but it will not harm the amplifier chips which are the most important thing.

Perfect! I shall buy and fit them!

Thank you very much!

Lots of previous threads on here regarding impedance and folks trying out various things so have a dig around if you need more info Alexis.

Thanks Ewen,

Do you know of any good UK sites for parts? I am after a Pinch roller. I found what I am looking for in the US (about $5) but the companies don't ship to the UK. I have also found a UK firm, but they are asking £11 for the part.

Any ideas/suggestions?

Alexis

what radio is the pinch roller for ?

Its a Sharp VZ3500, not a Boombox I know, but it is a practice run for when I get a VZ2000.

Alexis

Hey Alexis, if you want, I could purchase the pinch roller, have it shipped to me, and then ship to you. Just an idea.

Wow! Thank you very much!

what would be the best way for me to pay?

I am leaving work as it is 5.30, will log back on in an hour or so.

Alexis

Alexis, check your PM.
