I have the best speaker you ever heard it is a Sony mega bass I cut the back
out then drilled holes on one side. This speaker now sounds better than a
Icom pro speaker and the mfj speaker so go to a yard sale and look for a
speaker if it is has to much bass work on the case make changes.

Hi Dale:
Before you do anything else, first try using a low cost MFJ-281 Clear Tone
speaker on your Omni 6+. It will be the BEST $15 bucks you have ever spent
to help obtain nice crisp Rx audio out of your Omni 6+
I have 3 of these speakers in my equipment line up and they are the only
speakers I use.
These 3" speakers use a Mylar Cone and are very efficient requiring far
less power to drive and they produce nice crisp audio.
I do not use any of the TenTec p/s internal speakers, nor the internal
speaker in the Paragon, Omni V or Omni 6 series. All of the ones I have
tried over the years sounded very poor in my opinion.
As for the Inrad crystal filters, I have an Omni 6+ with both the Ten Tec
and Inrad filters. It has a pair of Inrad 2.8 kHz filters in both the 6.3
and 9 mhz slot's plus a pair of Inrad 400 htz cw filters and also the
optional Inrad 600htz roofing filter mod/ kit. The Inrad filters are
excellent crystal filters.

Two questions,have a new to me ,OMNI VI+ , one of the earlier rigs ,no SM
components. Iam using the rig with the matching supply/speaker. Iam not
too
happy with the audio from the speaker or even with outboard speaker, I
tried. Seems chocked to me. Is the Inrad mod worth doing? for the rig. I
don't do much cw any more ,arthritis, mostly ssb and digital modes. The
rig
has all filters installed ,tt filters, Is the 2400 Inrad roofing filter
worth the 175.00 for the radio. The performance of this rig compared to my
PROII I had is great. would never go back. Would like to hear any ideas
about the mods.
thanks
