Cabs used for a TV commercial ::: http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv...025753733.html

I have NO idea of any quality issues here!

Great deal for someone who knows how to wire up a cab.

Very poor efficiency though..............

Got to throw lots of watts at them to get them loud.

Heh. Speakers probably have an X_max of .01"

Nope. Maybe 3.25 mm. I'll bet they're the $35 ones with the gargantuan 20-ounce magnets. If they were used as props, I doubt they bought the more expensive ones.

Who would want a 15" speaker that only has a 1.5" voice coil ?

Then you shouldn't be considering them.

I wasn't really considering them - I just tossed them on the table for people here to see. I don't know a whole lot about them and was just finding them interesting, that's all.

While I was cruising CL, they just caught my attention.

They look like the cabs that were used in that credit-ID service TV commercial that has the four guys singing about getting your credit score checked. The old band is not really a band - somewhat like the Monkees.

There was a talent search for a real-operating band or at least some more "dorkishly cute" members who could actually play some instruments. (Sorry - I didn't coin that term)

It is rumored that these guys (or just one of them--- ) are the new fr¢¢creditreport.com band since the old band is - disBANDED:::

It wasn't speaker cabs for the Fruit-Of-The-Loom guys I don't think, as I only see the instruments, not any other gear in that commercial.

What this world needs is a Geico-Lizard Band. I bet he'd use real instruments and cabs.

Ah, well BFM - I thought it was interesting anyway. I apologize for getting your keyboard incensed
