i am very curious to know what peoples first experiance "playing" wih speakers is.....
heres mine...
when i was 13 i got a pair of black chipboard speakers with 8inch drivers, and a single kef speaker.
my friend blew the woofer in the kef speaker
so i literaly chopped one of the boxes in half and screwed it to the other one and put the tweeter in the remaining tweeter hole

it had left channel treble and a right box with no seal that was too small, and the whole thing was full of holes but i loved it at the time,
i finished it with a handle made from more junk

My first attempt at a speaker box was a 4 by 12 inch cabinet for a disco.
Luckily I realised quickly that it would be too big for the car.
So I split into 2 off 2 by 12inch speaker cabinets.
I used 50 watt Fane speakers from Maplin.
They were remarkably loud for 50 watt speakers and worked well in a disco application.
I used a Maplin 225WRMS bipolar amp kit with them.

My first experiment with speaker was connecting bicycle headlight dynamo to the 4" speaker I took from dead radio. I could ride with sound, like motorcycle, no, it sounded like a truck!
I used to be quite curious and inventive kid. If I did not have something I wanted I always figured out how to make it, or at least imitate. May be because I was not strong enough to take it by force from other kids.

Hey ! Foam's rotten ! Why ? Some glue ? don't work !
maybe new cones ...what ? 4 Ω .ok , gimme 4Ω and ...tweeters !! Domes ...silk ,yes !! And...what's this ? shiny copper , capacitors ..probably it splits the band . And those midrange AHHHhhhhh fallen on the front , one broken .
