Boy have these been around. They're the oldest still with me.
Built around '78 for the back of my brothers Ford Pinto. Imagine that, the back of a Pinto and they're still kickin' today.
They're not actually my computer speakers, I use them downstairs in my work area with a dual 10" bandpass. The woofers came from whomever I could swindle and the tweeters are a 3/4 polycarb unit from Radio Shack. The grilles are held on with ring nails pushed into holes in the wood. All wood cut with a handsaw.
I miss those days
Anybody else with old bombproof speakers still alive?

Actually, i do recall a set that are probably still in daily action -- i'm have drivers to do a V2 now -- in 1975 i built a set of EPI microTower clones for my brother using Philips 5" FRs...
Navin, the drivers in question are a set of Audax PR17s, i've some ideas for them, but too many other things in the queue ahead of them

roddyama said:About a month ago I was given a pair of old Sansui speakers. I'm assuming their from the 70's with the wooden matrix grills. I'll dig into them one day soon.
Often some really nice Coral (sometimgs Panasonic) drivers in those...
