Default RE: idea for speaker upgrade

i have the one larger speaker in it already, which is essentially going to be the subwoofer as it produces nice deep tones. sadly its located in the front. the smaller laptop speakers that i have will fit just about anywhere and if i can isolate just the high frequency sounds to them alone then i will be happy. im going to head to radio shack today and see what i can find there to do this. there are also a few car stereo shops in the area and im sure the guys there will be able to tell me exactly what would be needed along with helping me find something i can fit inside the tank. the nice thing is that whit almost all my electronics inside the turret it leaves plenty of room in the lower hull to work with!!

heres a video i just shot to let you guys hear how it sounds now. i used a pringles can to enclose the bottom half of the speaker. the speaker slid perfectly into the pringles can and gives it a much louder kick! enjoy

ORIGINAL: Panther G

Thats wrong YHR 2 4's in series gets you 2 ohms which will burn the amp you need 8 ohm speakers for a single and 16 ohm speakers for doubles. Trust me on this stuff guys.
Panther you are wrong..

Parallel circuits resistance will stay the same value
Series circuits the resistance will go up.


I was in college for Electronics and this one I clearly can remember!
