C3 Speaker Reconing

[Robert E.]

Hello all,

Will be sending out my originals out for reconing. Has anybody used "The Speaker Shop" in North Lima, Ohio?

Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

What year speakers and how much are they charging you? Terry

Re: C3 Speaker Reconing

Terry, I believe they're out of a '70 and will be putting them in my '71. The magnets are marked 466950 10 ohms. If memory fails, which it often does, they quoted me $48 per speaker.

I purchased two brand new factory correct A C Delco speakers from a company called Corvette Specialties for a total of $80.42 which included shipping just 2 months ago. They came complete with the factory mounting bracket already attached and had the correct wiring and plug attached. They bolted right in within 60 seconds.

Robert,

I purchased two 4 x 6, reconed original, 8 ohm speakers from Jackson Speaker Service in Michigan for $92.50. I connected with them based on a recommendation from an old time car radio repair guy. I didn't have any cores to send them, so I'm presuming that I purchased a pair that they had completed a reconning on from core's within their shop. If that was the case, they did a very good job, I'm very satisfied. For 30 year old reconditioned speakers, they sound better than I ever expected. I have them in a '74 coupe. I don't have a phone number for Jackson Speaker, but I do have an e-mail address, rjMcgee@voyager.net. Talk to Ron.

Good luck,
Ray

Why don't you try Grandpa's Radio in Kitchener? I'm very pleased with everything he has done for me.

Re: C3 Speaker Reconing

I can't do any better on the price with the guy I know. He charges about the same, $95.00 per pair. If you buy something else, make sure it is true 10 ohm speaker. Hard on your radio other wise. Terry

Jackson is who I was going to refer you to. Good luck, Terry

Correct ends? The last set I got from a different vendor just 2 years ago, had the later replacement ends. Then again, they were half that price.
