New speakers! (PICS)

[John Wilke K9RZZ]

I've had these station speakers about 10 years now, and they are just worn out, the price was right back then and I've gotten my money's worth out of them:

I tried upgrading them with car stereo speakers:

but there was too much mismatch between the 4 ohm speaker and 8 ohm stereo
amp, it distorted too much when turned up. So I ordered some new ones online
for about $37 each.

Each speaker weighs about 4 lbs and are rated for 100 watts
RMS. Plenty for listening to Radio Havana Cuba! (okay, so I listen
to music through them too :rolleyes: )

The new ones fit perfectly!

Total project time: about 30 minutes.
