C2 Speaker with proper transformer....where to buy?

[Sams '66]

Going to replace my speaker.......where do you get the correct one with the correct transformer?? :confused

I've seen one in my newest Mid America catalog ($29.99).

I'm going to order one from them to replace my "two speaker" center speaker and aftermarket radio (going back to stock soon).

Got mine from ZIP, but beware. Theirs does NOT have the correct connector to the radio. Luckily, I saved my old speaker and salvaged the connector/wires from it.

Repro junk. :eyerole And the prices we pay for most of this Corvette stuff. You'd think they could get most things right.

Did it have the correct transformer?

The ZIP transformer:

3 Millihenrys
1000 MADC
0.25 Ohms

I asked Charles Siegfried who is overhauling my radio and who is considered one of the best at doing so if he could supply me with a electronically correct speaker. His suggestion was to buy one from Long Island Corvette.

Since he provides a three year warranty and is an expert on the radio I took his advice. When he returns the radio (any day now) I plan to asked him if there are any specs I should check on the speaker. I will let you know what he says.

BTW, he did say I would need to tune the radio to the antenna after it was installed. I think the directions are in the owners manual - something like tune to the AM band and adjust a screw...

The "antenna trimmer" adjustment procedure is required, and it's shown in the U69 section of the A.I.M.

 

[tigernut]

Here's my approach:

- install factory radio (for appearance sake only)
- install chambered exhaust
- never use radio
- enjoy the open air and V-8 rumble (the "real" music, no antenna tuning required)

Good call Tigernut! However, I recommend a little variety now and then. There is just something about cruising in a 60’s vette and grooving on the oldies!

Anyone for a little Tommy James and the Shondells?

Ah, now I don't hardly know her. But I think I could love her.... Crimson and clover... But I think I could love her.... Crimson and clover... Ah when she comes walking over. Now I've been waitin' to show her... Crimson and clover over and over ...
