RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Wanting to upgrade my Taigen speaker to something a bit more meaty I found the Monacor SP-45/8 (78x78mm) - all 418g of it!

It's a bass/midrange speaker and once enclosed, I'm hoping that it will deliver the goods...

I realise that it's a 8ohm, so will be harder for the sound card to drive, but I'll be swapping to a DasMikro sound card and separate amp when they finally arrive from China.

I’d seriously keep looking for a 4ohm speaker or two, all car stereo speakers are 4ohm so there are plenty out there.
The speaker you’ve found looks bob on for the application just a downer on the ohm rating.

Remember about proper wooden or plastic box for speaker. In my case was little overkill

Good morning,
You guys need to chat with Maxmekker here on the Forum. He provides custom, sized to fit 4 ohm speakers and boxes for these tank builds. The sound is fantastic out of them. I use them in conjunction with CLARK boards and it is night and day compared to stock.

Wayne, for some reason the Monacor 4ohm speakers are double the price of the 8ohm (they are recommended by Benedini). I think I'm right saying that it will just be quieter for a given volume?

Kaczor and Painless, I'm a bit space limited in my build (T-34/85) and only just have room for the Open Panzer board on the side of the speaker enclosure!

Sound card will be between the battery and speaker, ESC's will be in between the gearboxes...

No smokers in my builds!

Hi Jimbo,
Yes 8ohm will be much quieter than 4ohm, personally I’d pay the extra for the 4ohm, it’ll be worth every penny
Cheers

Edit, a lot of people use these!
