Focer Font of knowledge speaker power RMS and stuff

[fazersharp]

After 15 years use in a kitchen environment the old speaker cones are probably getting a bit soft, but I’d do a side by side comparison before deciding which pair to use.

Good point about the age of the speakers, when I took the front fabric cover off the plastic frame was so brittle the lugs crumbled and snapped. The speakers are high up the wall touching the ceiling on a bracket and the back of them is a bit sticky.
   

They are very low end speakers, the wire will be virtually irrelevant at that sort of power level, you could use mains cable and not know any difference. In fact at 5w i can see the cable you're using is probably complete overkill.

I am unsure what power my old speakers are all I can find is ink stamped on the back of the top tweeter is 5.W 8 ohms also on the back of the speaker wooded body there is a label that I think says 8ohms - but I have a scrwe hole going through it for my bracket. Would it make sense that 5W is 8 ohms.
Just thought of something, I can use my borescope that I brought after another one of my focer font questions. There may only be one speaker in the box and the other is fake.
