This is an idea I've been working on since long before I actually had a cabinet of my own. I'm at the point where I've got the design worked out and it's just a matter of putting together a prototype and testing it thoroughly. After that, the question is how many? The goal is simple: Make a...

The speakers in my MVS-4 are pretty beat and sound sort of awful. So I've decided they need to go. I know they're 8ohm 5watt speakers, but the speakers I have on hand that I want to replace them with are 9.8ohm, is this close enough that I shouldn't worry? As it is, I want to build a new...
