Where to buy the speakers for JBL flip 2! Pls post it's urgent!

Jayanth A - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

Since I wasn’t in the US and shipping cost from the Dayton speakers were prohibitvely, I ended up finding the speakers form China. The upside is that they are easier to install, since you dont have to cut down the lateral support, the downside is that they are 6 Ohms and have a lower quality. Though I worked for me.
