full range radio speakers

[suttonfalls]

Has anyone tried installing fr speakers out of a radio such as sony boom box? Please don't laugh to quickly. I'v built Bushorn and recently Ziggy's with this kind of application. I am impressed with overall sound quality as have friends who have heard them. I've also built a pair of Fonken with Fostex FE127E. These are pretty decent sounding but other two sound good also. Corner placement on both Bushorn and Ziggy's deliver best results for bass. I enjoy building speakers and try to arrive at best sound and best bang for buck. The Ziggys use a pair of Sony 6 ohm/6 W drivers and Bushorn use 4 ohm/5 W. I currently use a Trends TA 10 amp and old ADC cd player. No thumpers here but you can hear much detail in recordings.

Sure! Some of the best 'FR' drivers I've owned came out of a '75 Sony large portable radio, but I imagine that wouldn't be the case today since the norm is to make as cheap a driver as practical and use mass quantities of digital contour filtering to voice it (make it sound the way they want it to).

Car audio and PA drivers tended to be the best overall last time I did any comparisons a decade ago. If doing it today, I'd be checking out drivers used in large RPTVs also.
