Optimus Pro LX8 / SPL
Hello, I know that this is a long shot, but it seems there are a
lot of knowlegable people here so I thought I would try. I have a pair of LX8's and I want to replace the driver in them. My problem is that I don't want the new drivers volume level to overpower the linaum tweeters. I Have done some research and found that when replacing drivers you need to stay within +/- 3db of sound pressure level or (spl). I have every other spec for this speaker but this one, anyone that can help in this regard would be extreamly gratefull! Also to I can find no listing for the Optimus company anywhere, tried to cross refrence Tandy, and Texas Insturments. Did however find the model number of the actull speaker to be replaced #SP90007. If anyone has any info that might be helpfull, even remotely Please advise! |

Greg, thank you for your help. The driver does still function, and it
is 8ohm. The biggest reason I would like to replace the woofer is that it has a muddy sound that dosent hold up with my newer lineaum center channel which uses kevlar drivers. I have a request in with peerless, and they have told me that they will see what they can do. I have been through all of the Radio Shack stuff right down to the most obscure and still no dice! I know of many of the crossover fixes for the lx8's, however I find no problem with the tweeter only the inferior performance of the woofer! The cabinet dimesions are roughly 18" 12" 14". And your right I think parts express will be my choice when and if I can find the spl rating I need. Any further info is always appreciated! |

Greg I am wondering If you can point me in the direction of such a
software program, I used the one on the Parts Express but it seemed pretty basic. If there is somthing out there a little more in depth I that would help a lot. PS the cabinets are ported, and again thanks for your help. |
