Yes, that thought had crossed my mind.

The problem is where do you stop?

I think if I can't find another speaker assembly
I'll go the two 1.5K resistor route with three filter
caps, 10uf, 22uF, and 22uF down the chain.

Now the problem is finding a reasonably priced 8"
speaker. Seems speaker prices are way up from
the last time I looked. Used to be MCM Electronics
carried some $10 type speakers in this size but no
more.

Cheapest I'm finding is $26 now... May have to
cruise the junk stores and see if I can find something
used.
