Ugly speakers need love too...

Here is a thread from several years ago when I started these with details and cabinet volumes: http://techtalk.parts-express.com/fo...e-buyout-blues
This is a good opportunity for someone to tinker around with designing a crossover for a budget speaker. Cabinets are rough, but should smooth-out enough to veneer with nice results if you wanted to go that route.
One speaker has drivers mounted, the other unmounted, but I have the drivers ready to go. Also, one cabinet got a little wet on the bottom when my basement flooded, but I got them out of the water fast enough and they dried out quickly with all the 20 or so air moving/drying devices the reclamation company had going in our basement. They're just a bit 'larger' in that area -- they swelled up a touch -- but I wouldn't hesitate to say they're structurally sound enough to finish up. A little sanding will be all they need. They're made of 3/4" MDF.
Free to a good home. I won't ship these--too heavy... and I won't part the drivers out, it just doesn't make any sense to me. You gotta take them as is and all of them.
So, if you're within an hour or two of zip code 08098 (12 minutes from Exit 2 on the NJ Turnpike) and have the space in your car, they're yours!
Thanks for looking,

I'm just not going to get to these. I intended to use these for the classroom, but I already have a system there, and these just don't have a place for our home anymore. What kind of classroom needs a set of speakers with 10" woofers and an MTM on top you ask? A preschool classroom... those little kiddo's like to Rock OUT! and loud
Side effect: "Baby Shark" is now my current jam -- how sad.
Cabinets are approx. 12" wide, 14" deep, 30" tall.


Cabinets are approx. 12" wide, 14" deep, 30" tall.
They will have 10" woofers sealed, 4-5" MTM Midranges in their own chamber, and a small tweeter. Intended to be a budget build that can get kind of loud.
The mids sound pretty smooth if I recall, they're poly cones.
