RE: magnets

unclestu,

FWIW
Too bad Radio Shack closed down. About 15 years ago they had a number of raw drivers, cheap and fairly good. RS 1354, IIRC a 5 inch full range with whizzer with tight voice coil spacing. Bought a dozen to play around with. They actually sounded pretty good. I cut off the dust caps, drilled the pole pieces, built phase plugs since at $7 each they were pretty much expendable. It was a great learning experience, since what I heard often contradicted standard wisdom and advice

I was wondering if I could contact you concerning the tweaks on that speaker. I have 5 or 6 of them. I dropped a lot of money on their selloff
of those and several other speakers often at a dollar apiece.
