    Suggestion for speaker replacements in TV's?

    I was wondering, no my Mitsubishi CS-2724R, if any of you repair guys have literature which details what sort of speakers are in my TV. I noticed PartsExpress.com sells some little 2"x3" shielded drivers* which I was considering using instead of the factory ones. I mean, they are very old and the foam suspensions have GOT to be junky by now, but I can't get to them to press on the foams and see if they are rotted out. They still sound okay, but I figured that when I get into the thing to fix the caps in the vertical section... well, probably as much as I can replace, I may as well replace the speakers as well... maybe rework the audio section a tiny bit. It also has some drivers in the sides which from what I can tell are perhaps 3" or 4" drivers. Any suggestions for replacing these?

    p.s. Of course, I'm not sure if the factory ones are 2x3's or 3-1/2x1-7/8. They are behind a mesh which I don't think is removable without getting inside the TV... which would make sense since there is no hardware visible from the exterior.

      The speakers are most likely secured from inside with 2 to 4 screws.

      The best thing to do is to remove and measure the speakers before ordering so that the screw holes line up and they fit inside properly.

      Also look for the old speakers impedance its usually printed on the back of the speaker. It will either be 4, 8, or 16 ohms.

      As for what type of speakers I'm not really a sound guy so can't help you there.

      Elements of the past and the future combining to make something not quite as good as either.

          I wouldn't go through all the trouble to "rework the audio section". Just use external shielded speakers.
          Ludicrous gibs!

              Dood has some really good advice here. I have made a good living out of updating sound systems. the problem you will have is the factory speakers are a special fit and unless you are good with a glue gun it will be really hard to find a replacement to fit. I have taken the foam surround off of other speakers to repair speakers that had speacial mounting. Parts express has a really good selection and prices are good.

                  Also it is not ideal to try to improve this because of chassis design does not allow you this. Best to use external speakers with good ampifier.

                      Stereo speakers to mono speaker
                      by tmcw
                      I picked up this set of powered PC speakers, no name brand, power cord to one of the speakers, and two audio cables coming out of it, one going to the other speaker, and the other to a 3.5mm jack for plugging into an audio out source.

                      So, a typical cheap powered PC speakers setup.

                      Now, the sound is pretty decent, I must admit, from the 4 ohm, 3W speaker, but I say "speaker", because it's just coming out of one of the speakers, and not the one with the power cord coming out of it. The other speaker is ok, it's just the electronics going to it has probably a fried...

                      Boston Acoustics HD8 – build quality impressions & DIY woofer surround repair
                      by momaka
                      Boston Acoustics fans, this thread might not be for you.
                      A few years back (~2018 time frame), I picked up a set of free JVC speakers from someone on Craigslist that no one seemed to be interested in. The guy also had a single Boston Acoustics HD8 speaker – yes, just one cabinet. He said he had no idea where he got this one from or why it's only by itself. But like the JVC speakers, it was going to get tossed at the end of that week… so I came to collect, as usual. And that's all I know about this HD8. After all, I figured why not take it and see what's inside… show it to the...

                      Help with boom box modification
                      by Califauna
                      Hi, this is more of a project help request than a troubleshooting question. I hope I can post it here.

                      I have a W-King D8 Bluetooth boom box which I'd like to modify with some external speaker output jacks and some buttons to switch the internal speakers on and off.

                      From factory the specs of the boom box are:

                      -Power Input: DC 5V
                      -Speaker Output Power: 2 x 25W ( confirmed by Youtube channel Hartdegen review as 12.5W RMS per channel)
                      -Drivers:
                      -2 x Woofer, 70mm, 10Ω, 70mm,15W
                      -2 X Tweeter, 8Ω, 30mm,10W x 2
                      -Frequency...

                      correct way to connect bare speaker wires into spring clip terminals?
                      by ChaosLegionnaire
                      i recently bought a logitech z607 surround system. however, its giving me grief. when i first connected it, it only had sound coming from the front right speaker. after a great deal of fiddling and reseating the speaker wires into the spring clip terminals, i finally had sound coming from all 5 satellite speakers.

                      however, the sound still gets cut off intermittently if i move the speakers, subwoofer or move/touch the speaker wires on the back of the subwoofer. so i wanna ask what is the right way to connect bare speaker wires into spring clip terminals?

                      i googled...

                      Humming from Mordaunt Short MS502 Speaker Amp
                      by AudioGuy88
                      I have a pair of Mordaunt Short MS502 speakers.
                      These have built in amps for the side firing subs.
                      One of the amps has developed a loud hum.

                      The hum is quite strange and I can't figure it out.
                      This is happening to 1 speaker only, the other one has no hum.

                      The speaker has a Int and Ext switch for choosing the signal. Int uses the speaker inputs and Ext uses RCA.

                      If you connect just the power, the amp will power on and no hum at all, on either Int or Ext.
                      On Int input, as soon as you connect the negative (-) of the speaker,...
