Hey guys, thanks for letting me join the board!
The other day my wife and I found this old Admiral radio at ReStore for $12! It doesn't work, so my plan is to put a small TV under the lid, an Apple TV, maybe an Xbox, replace the speakers, and hook it all up to an old Pioneer receiver I have lying around. Classic looks, modern gear. I was hoping you guys would be willing to give me some advice on making this sound decent. I'm poor but I'm handy, so doing this on a budget is much more important to me than perfect sound.
These are the speakers I'm thinking of getting from this site;
2x Goldwood GW-212/4 12" Woofer
2x Visaton FR13-4 5" Speaker
2x Visaton FR8TA 3.3" Speaker
2x Goldwood GT-1025 3"x7" Horn
Those would be direct replacements for the speakers that were in there. Is that a good plan? I'm a total dummy so I'm open to any input. Do I need the horns? I don't see them in many home audio systems anymore. My last question is crossover related. I was looking at what crossover I'd need and realized I was in way over my head so I'd love some advice there.
Thank you for the help, and if you guys are interested I'll update this as it progresses.
