I think in this case marketability and sound quality may be independent issues.
Stuff in a couple of 12" divers, and an array for mids and highs. Think in terms of "The Studio Dominator" from the movie "Ruthless People".
(Anyone know what real product the name was borrowed from?)
(The best value speaker from the same movie was the EV-Century 100, was a real product)
A good buy it now add on EBay and you’d be sure to make a killing.

Sell direct?
Has your friend ever thought of selling them direct to their customers? I mean, maybe I would buy one just so I had one. I
know I'll have a use for it eventually.
How about turning one into a sub and throwing it up on ebay. I'm sure someone would buy it.
Now, can you get smaller coffins that you could make a nice stand mount two-way? You know, one that a single monkey would fit in?

Ever do a knuckle-rap test on a coffin? (Safety warning: It's best not to do this in the presence of the bereaved family)
They're solid.
Cool idea, but these are all adult-sized. That's why subs come to mind. I'd think that Goths with disposable income from mommy and daddy could go for this (KYW and I are on the same page here); so could the dance clubs and bars that cater to them.
The Ebay suggestion is something I had thought about. Just curious about the reactions of the DIY crowd.
Poor, very poor WAF. Otherwise I think youve got a very sellable product. (like I would know one if it hit me in the face.)
Likewise I dont think you should rule out building some full range multidriver monsters. The bars, and frat houses would love it, and you might be able to sell three or more boxes at a time.
Other options, if you loose some of the interior padding, might be, insert shelve ad sell them as liquor cabinets, or equipment racks.
One could also house few CD players, turntables and DJ mixer with room left over for some CD's and albums.
It would also make a unique isolation cabinet for recording guitars in a recording studio.

I could be interested in a few of these depending upon costs to my door. Would like to see some photos.
Well Sy,
As my wife used to work for a small casket maker in Detroit back in the 70's, she has an understanding on how to hawk a casket. It only works down in the city where the funeral directors can't afford to keep the big consignment deals. You have to go in like Bob Barker an haggle with them, but you would be able to sell some. It would take some foot work and some protection (I'm talkin' the mission district, Richmond, Oakland, you get the picture), but it's better than giving them away.

BUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
ANd the jokes never end. Actually I have heard one once used at a sub cabinet. Sounded damn good too. It was a 60's Caddie hurse with a new (well back in the early 90's) Caddie dash and instrument panel. The casket was in the back with linear actuators to open the lid, and there were some Cerwin Vegas I believe in the coffin. Pretty bad ***. Oh ya, and One day, I too, shall own a hurse...
Even if it kills me!😀

SY, can I order one please, I have just read all through this thread and due to the excess of bad jokes and puns, I am now going to shoot myself...

Well, if I were a mod like you, I would edit the thread subject and get "Bad Pun Thread" in there somewhere 🙂
SY seems to frequent the funeral industry
Didn't you mention using pet caskets as chassis a while back?
What was the link to that thread?
How about this quote from another SY thread contribution:
"In the past, I've gotten good deals on marble and granite slabs from tombstone producers. They often have slabs which were rejected for cosmetic reasons or not paid for by a customer.
Ghoulish, yeah, a bit. But thick, solid, and available. I used one for my turntable some years ago; worked great, but I was careful to face downward the side with the deceased's name and dates."

How about a load of woofers on each side? Then lie down inside and crank the volume up. 
What a nice way to go... Packed and ready. 😉

My sense of humor has two sides, the dark side and the outrageously obscene side. I can only exhibit one of those in this venue, so perhaps I overcompensate 😉
I'm VERY tempted to pick up a pair of these myself. I do have the quite fearsome Mrs. Y to contend with, however.
Rodd and Variac do have me thinking about an alternative use, housing a tube amp using VERY large power triodes.
