Unfortunately, the speaker is no longer produced by Radio Shack, but most similar speakers will work just fine. It's a pair of 5-inch, 8-ohm speakers housed in a lightweight wooden cabinet. Setup time for the sound system alone is less than three minutes. I'm in the process of modifying the plug in the back to a flat 9-pin connector, which will cut the setup time to less than a minute.
Gar, other than simply the diameter (5 inch) and ohm rating, I would expect its "cross over frequency" would affect the resulting sound quality too, so please:
suggest a specific 'make-model' mid range speaker alternative to the discontinued Radio Shack one you're using?
Does your mid speaker cab simply sit atop the sub, or is it secured in some way (via removeable industrial strength velcro?) to it? Also curious what the strap(?) hanging down over the subwoofer speaker for?
At $200, your Z5500 setup surely seems like one terrific 'bang for the buck' solution especially for casual house party settings & short perf time situations where quick setup/breakdown is essential. I admit it isn't a pro looking setup, but if it really delivers decent sound, that's what matters most for these kind of venues. Gar, thanks again for sharing your innovative ideas with us and keep us posted when you got the 9 pin connector setup. - Scott
