1"-1.5" fullrange driver.

Hello I am looking for a 1" to 1.5" full range loudspeaker driver to implement in my project. Only ones I found in internet are Dayton and Visaton. It is frustrating to search in internet it always finds bluetooth speaker. I would love to check out other products.

If you can find an old CRT iMac (25mm) or eMac (35mm) they have either JBL or Foster fullranges that can be repurposed.

This the one from an iMac. DIY2000

Peerless PMT40 is a possibility:

Tang Band has an interesting lineup of small diameter full rangers like the W1-1942S. I'm surprised that you are not finding lots of alternatives. There are many. Perhaps you should go directly to the web sites of retailers to do your search, since you need something you can actually purchase in the end.

Peerless TC5FB00-04 or -08?

Thanks for the suggestions. I will check out in few manufacturer website too. Is there a website like http://en.toutlehautparleur.com/ where you can search based on the size. They just have visaton in this category.

Tang Band has a lot of drivers for that size, unfortunately not all sell in EU. Also there is a HiVi, but I think at that size TB are more powerfull.

Hello.

I'm thinking about building my own speakers and I would like to use 1-1,5" monitors.
Little problem is, that in my country (Czech) there is not lot of speakers to buy. So I would like to buy something from ebay (but speakers from USA has very high shipment. Even higher then the product cost itself )

But I looked, that there are some "JBL/Harman Kardon" OEM spare speakers. Are they what Planet10 meant? For the price they looks pretty good, but there are not any datasheets etc. :/

Thank you

The 1st is very much like the 1” HK/JBL driver out of a 2nd generation iMac.

The 2nd i would guess are for one of HKs dedicated computer speakers. Kinda pricey.

Those are in China. Shipping is cheap (free), that puts the price into contrast. I could give you some (i would too) but shipping is going to exceed those prices.

Thanks for reply.
Yes, the shipping is very problematic.
E.g. Aura Sound NSW1-205-8A cost on eBay 17.80$/pcs, but shipping is 22.25$

On the other hand, I just want to make something little better then cheap "10$ BT repro" and I want to try it to make myself

BTW is there something like "bass" speaker in this size?
