Replacement Sony Surround speaker?

    Hi,

    Have a Sony DAV-DZ260 system here and one the rear speakers was destroyed because it was accidently connected to the subwoofer output for a period of a few weeks.

    Crackles/sounds awful now when connected to the normal output, I'm guessing the speaker just couldn't handle the low range stuff and is designed for mid only.

    Looking for a replacement if possible, can't find anything on ebay. It's unusual in that it is a 3Ohm speaker and most similar replacements from other sony systems are 8ohm.

    Speaker model is Sony SS-TS80 and the internal speaker unit is marked Sony 81016G.

    Anyone know where I could find one?

    Alternatively I could replace the speaker with an alternative but I am guessing that if one rear speaker is 3ohm and the other is 8ohm then the sound will be completely out of balance with the 8ohm being much quieter..

    Hi Redisle, what is the diameter of the driver and what is the cone material made from, and what are the dimensions of the cabinet....and is it a ported cabinet or closed?
    Is the 3Ω spec on the driver or on the cabinet?

    With the above, I'll see if I can source you a replacement.

    Paper type cone. 3 Ohm is marked on the casing.

    Thanks!

    Think this one would do you...

    http://radionics.rs-online.com/web/p/loudspeaker-drive-units/3643341/

    Cheap enough in the event you want to replace a second for the purpose of matching...... though it's 4Ω shouldn't present a problem.

    Hope this helps, will keep my eyes open for others in the coming days.

    Thanks. Never thought to check radionics or farnell for speakers. Will order one next time I'm using RS.
