I prefer my 10+5's.
I just use a 20x20 array of 2.5" speakers out of 60s transistor radios.
OoooOoo, tell us, and show us, more, Miley! Does it have that cool Phil Jones Bass amps' vibe with multiple small speakers?
Though, surely, those '60s transistor speakers aren't really tuned for bass.

I pair my 500C with a 112 Rumble cab and it does quite well.

Exactly!

Think of it as a built-in HFP.

and Thursday, and Friday, and Saturday, and...
How long would it take to get them all turned on, dialed in to the same station (and keep adjusting for drift on The X...), etc. Any frequencies below 1kHtz?
You wire them in fonky series-parallel to get some bass.
Some.

My first one (1959-1960) didn't even have a speaker, just a single ear bud permanently wired to the radio. After dark (in central Texas), I could pick up the New York AM station that broadcast the Yankees. I was in heaven...until a younger brother ripped the ear bud out of the radio...and my father refused to replace it. Much sadness.
Oh the disappointment. I also used to listen to ballgames (Phillies—Johnny Callison climbs the right field wall to make another game saving catch!), and the local rock and soul music stations. It was great technology back then.
Yes!! Nothing like a Happy double F...
Yikes. Sorry to hear that. My first radio used a headphone; it was a crystal AM kit. Wound the coil and everything. When I graduated to a transistor radio I thought I was in heaven, until I had to pay for batteries.
This gives me horrible memories of awful-sounding, power-sucking, over-priced Bose 901s being used as PA speakers in the mid-90;s (not that I have any opinions on them :-/).
