Hi gang,

Back from a long forum hiatus with a mystery for everyone. Got a pair of thrift mart specials yesterday for $3.99 for the pair...I have no idea what they are. They do work...and actually don't appear to sound half bad from the 2 minute demo I gave them. They are seven drivers each with what appears to be six 6" mid-woofs and one...2.5-3.5 (hard to tell) cone tweeter. Input is simply a set of screws and all it has for a crossover is single capacitor between the midwoofs and they tweeter.

There's a few pics to maybe help.

    Yeah...I kinda figured they might be JCPenny specials or something from back in the day...but they are solidly built and I figured even if just use them for goof-around parts or as cabs to break in drivers....or even as spare wood...they were worth 3 or 4 bucks. :)

    I still haven't met a speaker with a cone tweeter that I like...

    The highs certainly are not "sparkling"...i'll say that...but they would definitely cut it as-is for garage speakers.
