Proceed with caution however if you don't have the ability to really test the driver with something other than a DVM though. That will just provide a basic measurement. A typical 8 Ohm driver would read somewhere between 6-7+ Ohm but that doesn't tell the whole story.
Guitar Fuel does not sanction using anything other than the provided driver or something of similar specification.
Looks like an old Alnico 8" or 10" would nestle right in there using a sub mounting plate. Most of those are spec'ed for10-15w power handling. 8Ohm. I've made 3 now using the SD-MAH3 op amp harness and similar drivers. Ty is a bit reluctant to acknowledge the use of his chip amps with higher wattage drivers than the recommended 5w driver. Using higher power handling drivers shouldn't be an issue as long as they remain relatively stable into 8 Ohm within the frequency range it's being asked to cover. 4 Ohm, or a 8 Ohm that runs actually runs down around 4 Ohm in high demand areas could potentially be a problem. Like amp melt down problem ;)
OK if you make a buck on this I don't care... here comes creativity: keep the fan and wall plug in it and working... figure how to mount a speaker (or two of 'em) at an angle where it (they) blow(s) through the fan from the back side, then do a battery-powered amp in her. Use with fan off... or major cool (get it?!!) when you turn the fan on low you get slow leslie effect! Mic the thing on the off-side so the fan is blowing the other way to help cancel fan wind noise into the house p.a.. DUDE... that's where I'd go with this little puppy! -Glenn

Thou shalt not covet. I WANT it.
That's great. It even has a built-in on/off switch and volume control knob !
for sure keep the original color ;-)
eeek a bug in the system !!! :-D
Holy moley! That's gonna make for a nice one. Are you going to keep the color the same? I sure would.
