What is the total weight of the magnets? I thought they were to be 40oz per speaker?

Yes they are at tops 8.5 oz each I have some of these speakers and they are not bad for the price range

Not even close. The magnet itself is about 10 ounces; the entire magnet structure (magnet, pole pieces, and shorting ring), perhaps 20. But really, weight doesn't matter so much as flux strength. Speaker makers use more advanced magnetic materials than they did in the 70s, so today's modern rare-earth ferrites can be as strong or stronger than the "40 ounce" magnets of yore. A smaller magnet also makes the speaker easier to install (less clearance space needed) and saves weight, which improves the handling and economy of your car! And to expand that answer still further, magnet strength is only part of the picture. There's also the construction of the voice coil (core material, wire gauge and shape, sintering and enameling, etc.), the shape and material of the cone (conic vs. parabolic vs. hyperbolic, paper or polypropylene or fiberglass or metal, isotropic vs. anisotropic, etc., etc.), and the materials and construction of the surround and spider. Really, to get a clearer picture, look at the T-S parameters (Fs, Qts, Vas). Ideally, for a car speaker: Fs--Resonance frequency; lower is better. Qts--The total 'Q factor' or 'peakishness' of that resonance. For most car speakers, operating in a more-or-less 'infinite baffle' configuration, this should be around 0.7 or so. A higher Q (above 1.0) will give "boomy" bass; lower Q (below 0.5 or so) will require a separate box for best results. Vas--The free air equivalent volume. If these speakers are going in your rear deck, then the Vas for each speaker should be no larger than half the volume of your trunk (remember, they're in pairs) or "boomy," sloppy bass will result.

I never actually weighed them, but I would guess 40-50 lbs. Hope this helps.

The actual headphones are light in my opinion although I use them mostly for traveling. My hobby scale (measures in grams/ounces) is not functional at this time so I can't give you their weight.

Hi,I got the Energy take classic and Im very happy with those. Usually better speakers have more powerful magnets, and are wooden made, hence the weight of those would be higher. This is how I added yet another factor to choose by, hope this helpsAviv

I'm not sure, I haven't weighed them. But my guess is Probably like 0.3oz. Something like that. They're TOO light. I think, They are so light that they won't stick into wood or even card board. That's my experience anyway.

I concur. Each speaker is easily 5-6 pounds (the build quality is superb). Then you have the packaging material and box.

hi sonya, the speakers are protected from the magnetic sources. they meet the federal communications commissions standards. they are great. they work extremely well in a meeting. In fact I do not need to have the volume on high when I use them. I generally keep it about a quarter to half way up. I would strongly recommend using your computer on electric when ever possible. The speakers tend to drain the battery. all of my friends can not believe how clear they sound.. i

They are about 3 1/4 inches high and weigh practically nothing. Until you mentioned it I didn't know that they snapped together so when put together they are about 6 1/2 inches long. They are okay, I've only used them a couple of times hooked up to my tablet. If you are looking for high quality sound these are not. They are adequate at best. If I remember correctly they did not cost that much, so you get what you pay for. Hope that helps.

Yes that is correct. Did you look at the specs? Each speaker is 28.7 lbs. They are 40 5/8" tall. I would say in speaker terms this is pretty light for the sheer size of the speakers. http://www.onkyousa.com/Products/model.php?m=SKF-4800&class;=Speaker

Not sure exact weight but I have a tape deck, 200 CD changer, Tuner, Master controller and turntable and have experienced no problems from the weight of these units.

The magnet weighs 4 lbs to give you an Idea of the actual size. From the picture and the fact that mine are in a sealed box in my car are the moment my best guess as to how wide they are or their diameter as they are round is 4 to 6 inches. They are a good speaker for the price. if you have the cash buy the punch or power 12s but a pair of these will not disappoint you with a great box and a good Rockford 500w RMS amp all for about $300 from Amazon

They are not heavy. I own a pair. But they are not as advertised, they really don't work.

The Cerwin Vega website says they weigh 66 lbs each so the 75 lbs shipping weight sounds about right. My older speakers actually weigh about 90 lbs. I'm assuming they have been able to come up with more efficient materials over the last 20 years and thus bring down the weight .

I not sure the exact weight but they are pretty light. if I had to take a guess they are only a couple of oz's each

According to Amazon the speakers weigh 2lbs. if purchased as single speakers.I did not weigh mine, but they they feel about 2 lbs. They are compact but sturdy. I relly enjoy the quality!David

They are that weight for each set of 2 jacks. They are very nice quality if they did not change the metal formula. We were quite surprised at the quality and sturdiness of them. Hope this helps.

Have no idea, but they're solid. I'd have no apprehension about putting 20 pounds on them. I've had numerous speaker stands throughout the years and I like these a lot.
