"Parts Express has many affordable speaker drivers. Just get the same size and you're good to go."

Good to know because I've avoided doing this in the past mistakenly thinking that I needed to match driver specs to the cabinet and crossover network when all I really needed was the same size. Doh!

"I would hate to see these bad boy speakers get further damaged by being out in the elements for another week."

Those "bad boys" sound similar to some other listings I've seen in my local Craigslist that were "bad ass", "kick ass" and "freakin' crank". The world is full of total awesomeness in bargain second hand lautsprechers!

That ad was pure audiophile dribble. Who is this shill?
Bass modes, imaging, Floyd E Toole, WAF sheesh!

yeah, I was worried about the WAF aspect but all I gotta do is drape a black cloth over them, so no problem

These will be gone by the time the rest of you vultures get there, so don't even bother

I was all excited then I see west coast, darn it! Why can't we get freebies like that, it's always some retired guy from Escondido winning the Power Ball too, jeeze, we never get a break, you guys have all the luck. But in the spirit of the season, I really do hope you enjoy buffing those beauties up.
