A couple of years back I scored a decent pair of the old RadioShack Optimus 8B speakers for $50- with some other stuff tossed in for free
Somebody over at AudioKarma was desperate for a set of the mid range and tweeters so I took them out and flipped them [ at a reasonable profit] and the boxes with that great woofer have been sitting in the shed for a long time and I have no idea what to do with them now.
The boxes are in excellent condition although missing the original grill, which I suppose is why they were only $50-
I'm at a loss as to how to proceed so I'd appreciate some thoughts and inspiration from the collective minds of the forum members. I haven't actually finished anything since I made that huge 18" part sub and I am feeling frustrated

Nova 8B

Yes the two small mid-tweeters [ 4R in series] below the upper high driver.
I think all I want is something listenable as it is a pretty good woofer that goes reasonably low. The three holes in the baffle make things a bit more difficult

Isn't it the Nova 8b?
How about a Peerless TC9 in a small rear enclosure, like XRK's RS225 FAST? Nice and simple. Ha ha.

Maybe I should just blank off the holes and use it as a sub box.?
I do have a little 3 litre box here I made for one of the grandkids that got returned to me last year, nothing special, just a Jaycar 4" plus an Audax mylar tweeter, maybe I could sit it on top of the blanked box using Mr Jeff Bagbys "Universal crossover" but having made a couple like this in the past I've always thought they looked a bit off and "secondy thoughty"
Nothing special but reasonable and the XO seems to work
