My alarm clock has a somewhat blown speaker. I checked and found that the speakers are 8 ohm 2 watts. Can I get replacements for that? I really liked it, but the blown speaker makes it sound awful. I'm actually going to check out a different cd alarm clock tomorrow, but who knows if I'll get it.

So, if you know of some good and cheap 8 ohm 2 watt speakers, feel free to let me know. They're built in to the 'box', but it's not a big issue if the new speakers dont fit in. I can rig up something small to enclose them in.

Thanks

pm Blumenco. I've seen him replace his clock radio speaker with fostex drivers

.Thought a little bit insane, he really knows his stuff. Check him out.

Of course you can get a replacement. Who made your alarm clock? You might be able to get the exact part.

Mouser sells cheap speakers of the sort found in $15 radios.

Take a look at catalog pages 1494 and 1501 --

MCM also carries a few replacement speakers. Go to www.mcm.com and type speaker in the search box.

PartsExpress caters to speaker builders. Most of what they carry will need more power than your clock radio puts out but they may have something.


Radio Shack might have something.

Computer case speakers might be a possible source as well, and should be easily salvagable from aging hardware. Quality will suck, of course, though. You can probably get better drivers at the sites listed above, but if it's a cheap clock radio it likely won't be any different from a computer speaker.

Thanks for the tips guys.

The alarm clock is a Philips Aj3980.
Is this what I would need?

Does it fit?

Well of course it doesn't!

Completely wrong shape actually.

However, I planned on mounting them externally so they can both face the same direction instead of being on separate sides of the alarm clock.

I just found a couple more. Right now, this looks like it should actually fit. I'm going to measure later.
