I think the PE 6.5" $5 woofers you are suggesting using in an array in your earlier post are he same ones used in the B652 speaker. If so, they are not very good sounding. My point was that you can spend a little more and get much better sounding woofers.

for having ONLY $20 worth of "midwoofers", the B652s sound surprisingly good to me, and BETTER than all of the high efficiency mids i've found videos for including the DS18s and a couple other accordion surround brands i checked out.
they sound fairly big & dynamic on some of the tracks which is exactly what i'd like in a mobile system. i was thinking they were sucking out on the caravan palace track as i skipped around, but the track sounds even thinner with heavy bandpass EQing.
i wouldn't expect a $5 driver to embarrass anything more expensive, but from what i heard in the demo i linked to below and another demo or two of the smaller versions, they sound like they're worth more than $5 any day.
as to ebay, i hate buying stuff there after getting ripped off by a vendor who suddenly started stiffing EVERYONE on a CD purchase that ebay & paypal played pass the buck on until it was too late to make a claim. besides, i can't access my account anymore anyways as i lost my password and the password to the email account it was associated with as well, so i won't be buying speakers there any time soon.
i've heard more expensive speakers sound worse than this:
yes, i believe they ARE the same woofers
the point is moot now as i ordered a pair of JBL 6" outdoor 2 ways for $50 that will project in the opposite direction of my proel mains which was the issue. if they work out, i might just keep the 1.5 system as long as it's not too heavy to haul, and just upgrade the batteries to lithium ion.
the NEW plan is to point the JBLs forward and proels backwards so i can hear decent music as well as project back which makes more sense at biking events, gain a couple dB maybe, and distribute the weight back some with the HEAVY little proels while not getting blasted myself listen to the JBLs at close range.
it's kind of a cobbled setup, but if it works, i'll stick with it.
I was fooling around with the B652s for a pair of deck speakers, but when I saw the JBLs, I had to order a pair too. Can't wait to hear them. They also match the white trim on my house.
in MOST of the videos of the 26s and their smaller 24s siblings, they sound pretty nice, but lack bass, but in the 26 video with the dented dustcap, they sound very full range with nice deep bass.
regardless, $25 each is a huge bargain where you'd pay that much for just 1 driver most days. as JBLs, i'm hoping they're above average sounding as JBL usually is at a given price point, and 75% off is a sweet deal.
it's great that they'll match your color scheme too.
