Hi,
I have a Garmin i3 GPS. The speaker dies on me within 6 months. Instead of calling their customer service and be put on hold for hours, I am planning to fix it myself. I open the thing up and find a very tiny 1" - 1.5" 8 ohms 1 watt round speaker glued/taped on the case.
Do you guys know where I can buy one of these to replace the broken speaker?

That doesn't sound quite right. A speaker is usually good for the life of whatever it's built into. Are you sure the speaker is dead? Have you tried hooking it up to another audio source?
I hooked the gps speaker wire to my headphone and I could hear the sound from my headphone. So, the gps speaker must be broken.
So, where can I find a tiny 1"-1.5" speaker with 8 ohms and 1 watt? I cut out the tiny speaker from my headphone and hook it to the gps but it does not sound loud at all.
Hmmm... my monitor comes with built-in speaker... and the speaker is loud. I think I will wrack the speaker out and hook it to my gps to see if it is loud enough to use.
Surf over to Electronic Goldmine and look at the speakers on
Cheers!!!
Thanks. but I can't find anything there though. Nothing is 1W. The most they have is 0.4W.
