Raw speaker drivers (Vifa, Dayton, etc.,not Polk)

I know there are a few members here interested in speaker building. I've got some post-Christmas debts I need to pay, and I need to reduce my inventory of drivers since I haven't had time lately to do any speaker-building. Here's what I've got and the prices I have in mind. I'll include ground shipping to the lower 48 states, for established Club Polk members. Regarding the quantities: On a few of these, I can't remember if I've got more than 2. I'll have to check later.
Qty. 2, possibly 4, Vifa PL18WO-17-04 Premium line 7" paper cone cast frame midwoofer. $35 each. These are really nice. Smooth response / 89db sensitivity, heavy duty motor with bumped back plate and vented pole. They'll work sealed or vented. Won't go terribly low: F3 of about 50Hz vented, but they'll handle lots of power and sound good doing it. They'll cross to a good tweeter as high as 2.5Khz, and don't require an elaborate crossover. I built a two-way with a pair of these matched with a Vifa D25 aluminum tweeter and crossed about 2.2K that sounds pretty good, although I think a soft dome tweeter is a better match for them. They look just like THIS, except they're the 4 Ohm version. Sold
Qty. 2 Dayton RS265 10" HF subwoofers. New in the box. I've listed these before and then decided to just keep them after they didn't sell right away. They'd make a killer small-box sub for music. I think they're a deal at $85 ea. and if they don't sell at that, I'll hang onto them a little longer.
Qty. 4 7" German made (MB Quart) paper cone woofer, 4 Ohm. These were a PE buyout driver. Smooth response, high sensitivity. Still in the PE database, if you search for part no. 299-668. I bought 2 originally, decided they were nice drivers, and then ordered 2 more with the intention of using them in pairs, wired in series. Haven't gotten around to it. $14 each.
Qty. 2 Vifa D25AG35-06 aluminum dome tweeter. A classic aluminum dome tweeter, highly regarded, low Fs (950Hz ?, I think) I'm personally not a huge fan of aluminum dome tweeters, but these are good ones. I'll end up wishing I'd kept these.. $30 for the pair. Sold
Qty. 2 Dayton 1-1/8" silk dome tweeter. Not shielded. Hard to beat budget tweeter. I've got too many. Pair for $12 (I better not include free shipping on these unless they go with something else)
Qty. 2 Atlantic Technology buyout tweeters. 1" fabric domes, truncated plastic frames. Not a neodymium magnet design.... I don't know much about these, or what I paid for them. I did run a FR plot on one of them and I remember that it was admirably flat 2.5Khz and up. $20 for the pair.
Qty 2 Vifa TC11 buyout Infinity midrange. 4.5", 6 Ohm. Coated paper cone. Has bucking magnet. These were PE part number 299-492. 1" VC and pretty robust for a mid. 110Hz FS. $20 for the pair.
Qty. 2 or possibly 4, Vifa TC14WG-69-08. These are just like the "regular" TC 14WG-49-08, except that the frame is truncated. 5.5", suitable for midrange or midwoofer use. Buyout from Madisound. $15 each.
That's all for now, thank you for looking. I may not add pictures unless someone requests them. Post here or PM me with questions. Checks OK if I know you, or MO. I can do Paypal, but I've just got a "standard" account, which I think causes me to have difficulty with a credit card payment. Contact me to discuss.

Thanks! Not so much abandon, as had too many planned that never got off the ground. I love fooling around with speaker-building, but it takes a lot of time and a lot of space, neither of which I seem to have enough of lately. I hate to sell some of this stuff, but I'll have enough left to keep me busy.

Cool drivers, cool prices.CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.
