This is one of the projects I have had in the works for quite some time
now.


How do they sound? Cost of building?

The little TV speakers were the impetus of this design. I got a really
goooood deal on about a thousand of them. They were found pretty much at
random and as-is, take-it-or-leave-it. I don't think I could have picked a
better speaker for this application. They are paper, but there's no reason

Reminds me of some of the boxes I have bought. Sometimes you run into something good.
I just wonderd why you just didn't stack them vertically and not use as many, for horzontal dispersion.
Perhaps it would just complicat the lower frequencies, and require another driver stage. When
I use different drivers, I frequently coat the surrounds, and even sometimes caost
all or part of the cones, with either Airflex 400, silicone, or
some other rubbery material. I usually prefer the sound I get when I do this rather than the untreated
driver.
