It looks like a lot of changes since I was here years ago. Changes in circumstances mean I do a lot less in speaker building.
But I pulled apart a discarded Emerson flat screen tv from the curb to find a circuit board I could practice soldering on.
Inside were two speakers with the number as
JINGL I S065F43
8 ohm 10 watt J3KJ
Some one on may be able to trace any info. Google didn't turn up much from the number.
On Ebay they show to sell for $11.00 but that might be inflated. What I'm wondering is are they at least full range?
I find that repurposing old separate boom box or modular size boxes will at least get sound out of some small speakers
for the desktop. I'm not looking for any bass quality.
I think I got a screen shot made to look at just from an ad.

The speaker may be custom for Emerson, so finding specs could be difficult. They should be reasonably full range since they came out of a TV, and will probably do OK nearfield on a desk if your expectations are appropriate for a $10 2.5-inch driver. This isn't a crack at the particular speaker, just that a 2.5 inch is only going to do so much.
If you can cross to something else at around 250 Hz, that'll make life a lot easier for the 2.5 inch and would give you an opportunity to deal with the midbass/low mid prominence that's common to desk speakers. But if you don't want that level of complexity, that's OK too. Some EQ might help in that case.
But whatever you do with them, if you're having fun you're doing it right.

Thanks foo answering. Yes, DIYAudio helped a great deal when I was more active in the hobby. I got into it only from seeing Speakerbuilder mag at the local Barnes and Noble about the time you see my join date.
I have one FE127E in an open box for the desktop. I've been putting that in various builds for many years. It's mate is in storage from a move to a new address I never completed. My requirements these days is little more than internet.

That helps put things in perspective. For general internet use, you can typically get by with a small full-range driver. Most of the 2 inch and smaller units are pretty limited, but a decent 2.5 inch can do pretty well even with music, (especially with some EQ). And since yours came out of a TV, they likely have good voltage sensitivity.
Your Fostex has limited Xmax, so meeting your bass expectations should be a bit easier for the 2.5 inch.
The Fostex should be more refined overall (and particularly at high frequencies), but if you aren't listening critically you may not notice.
Were the speakers in sealed or ported enclosures in the TV?
