Driver recommendations

I am planing on building a pair of single driver speakers with some cheapo fostex drivers to allow me to play around with some low power amps. Do any of you have a favorite low cost full range driver with high sensitivity? I am not looking for perfect sound just something to play with. Also what is the prefered material to treat the inside of the cabinets? Thanks for you suggestions.

B200's with Open baffle design can run off a T-amp and SET amps......

I am not interested in the B200 OB. Mainly because I want to build a cabinet but also because I want to spend about what one B200 costs for the pair.

The FE108ESigma's may cost a little more than you were looking to spend, but they are about the sweetest sounding driver I've ever heard. I have one pair on OB with an OB bass augmenter and one pair in the Fostex recommended RLH and both are simply outstanding. I got mine for $75/pr including shipping, plus they were already broken in, which I understanding is an excrutiatingly long time. As long as you have at least 8W/ch, you may never buy another pair of speakers again.
