Collection: Speakers 2W to 10W

Speakers from 2 to 10 watts for DIY Bluetooth speakers, amplifier modules and repairs: 40 mm, 50 mm and 65 mm drivers in 4 ohm and 8 ohm, a universal LED TV speaker and an 8 ohm 10W dynamic speaker. Pair 3W speakers with PAM8403 boards and 10W with TDA or TPA amplifiers.

Active or passive buzzer?

Active has its own oscillator. Give it DC and it beeps at one fixed pitch. Easiest for alarms and timers. Usually has a sticker and a sealed back.
Passive needs a changing signal (PWM). You choose the pitch, so it can play notes and tunes. Shows the green board at the back.

DriverSpeaker to use
Arduino pinPassive buzzer or piezo. For an 8 Ω speaker add a transistor and a 100 Ω resistor.
DFPlayer Mini4 or 8 Ω, up to 3 W, straight on SPK1 and SPK2
ISD1820 voice module8 Ω, 0.5 W
LM3868 Ω, 0.5 to 1 W
PAM84034 or 8 Ω, 3 W per side
TDA2030 / TPA31164 or 8 Ω, 10 W and up

The speaker's watt rating should be the same as or more than the amplifier's output. Ohms should match what the amplifier lists; a lower ohm speaker draws more current and can overheat a small amplifier.
