Review on Skar Audio FSX65 4 Midrange Loudspeaker by Loren Jacobson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not suitable for pinball speakers

I bought this Skar FSX65-4 to use in an 80's Bally pinball machine. A midrange driver is what you get for it, 8 ohms is preferred but hard to find and 4 ohms is perfectly fine. The specs looked good, but the sensitivity was far from what I needed for the Squawk & Talk pinball to operate. The cone was just too rigid and barely moved. I went back and bought a "W64" 4 ohm mid-bass from another manufacturer which was much better suited for this purpose. Skar might get better after a few hours on a more powerful system, but for me I had to bring it back.
