To be fair, the reason I shared the link is because JDW is an electrical engineer and I figured that might support the view that it’s perfectly acceptable and won’t hurt the sound circuitry of an SE. Of course, others had validated before I proposed the solution and I cannot see a material...
I've sold over 100 of these speakers with zero complaints other than folks commenting of the Ohm (8 vs 63) difference. JDW discusses this in his video at the time sampled link
Extensive testing has been performed to ensure it will work and not hurt the Mac.

The iMac bezel issue is a combination of heat, sunlight, general age, and mostly the chemistry of the plastic (fire...

Yes, these will come in original light gray and a clear option, of course.
I did make 6100 feet for what it’s worth. If this is successful, other Macs may be considered. The 500 series are too far gone to work given the cost of massive tooling. But PowerBooks, LC pizza box, Color Classic, are...
