Anyone replace a Vewlix speaker before?
Snagged a Vewlix Diamond, and everything is looking good... except one speaker is busted, and since Vewlix speakers are wired in series it means I have no audio on the whole right side now. (I’ve diagnosed down to the speaker, it’s not any of the wiring or the audio amp. Somewhere inside the speaker the two wires aren’t linking up anymore)
So, I need some replacements.
Looks like it’s 4 ohm car speaker, but none of the 3.5” car speakers I’ve tested fit under the Vewlix grill even though the mounting holes fit.
Any help is appreciated!
EDIT:
Found a winner! Dayton Audio PC83-4 3" Full-Range Poly Cone Driver
The dimensions are almost exactly that of the original Taito speaker. Importantly, the mounting frame is exactly the same.
