MGB-GT 1966 MGB GT Speaker Restoration

[CJ Burton]

I would like to restore the speaker in centre console of the 66 MGB GT. Is anyone aware of someone who repairs the torn membrain or can replace it?

Thanks

Would be so mush easier to replace with a new like for like or a second hand one. I dont think it would be repairable,

Like Doug I might be inclined to replace it but, there are youtube videos on how you can do it.

(an example)

I have been looking around for a replacement, but no one is able to find one in decent condition. I would even consider replacing it with a Bluetooth unit, but I would like one the same size that would bolt on to the console.

What size is it? If it's a standard size (4x6, 5x7, 6x8, 6x9) they are easy to find - Best Buy, Crutchfields, Amazon, etc.

Found these on flea bay, may be a tad smaller than yours.

You can replace a 4 ohm speaker with an 8 ohm without doing any damage, would not be as loud.
8 Ohm speakers are more plentiful

The speaker is 5x7 - I am presuming that it came with the car - It is 8O 4W. Proabably a dealer option.

Decided to forget the time machine and install a new speaker. Too many speaker shops said it could not be repaired.

Good plan! looks great and I am sure it will sound better. There are some (many?) parts that just don't need to sound original.
