New member Username: JimtmcdanielsColorado springs, Colorado Usa Post Number: 1 Registered: Mar-07 | Can anyone help with this situation: I have a nutone home intercom system and one of the speakers voice coil has gone out. I can't find a replacement speaker, and they want too much $$ for the whole unit that contains the speaker. I can't find a new speaker, it's a little 3 1/2", 16 ohm speaker. Noone carries 16 ohm.. Is there somewhere I can order one of these? Can I order a 4 ohm and add a resister in line to one of the connections to make it 16 ohm resistance?? More of these units are probably gonna go out over the years, hopefully I can find an affordable replacement speaker. Thanks for any help! |

Sometimes it's best to suck it up and buy the original equipment rather than jerry-rigging something. Do you know whether the intercom has a 25 volt transformer output? If so, you'll probably end up buying from Nutone. Have you tried an internet search for 16 Ohm intercom speakers? Buy two eight Ohm speakers and connect them in series. . |
