15" Radio shack woofers, where are the magnets?

Probably under the basket, but was this a very good design?

Yes it's under the basket. Curious to know how the seller associates them with Realistic/Radio Shack.

They were made by Utah, and could be Radio Shack. If that's the case they should appear in at least one of their catalogs. http://www.radioshackcatalogs.com/catalog_directory.html

Beware the yellow stuff. that's not fairy dust, it's cadmium oxide and not good for you.

Very small magnet, very low cone control, very low power handling, etc.

That is a Realistic Nova 9 woofer. It does have a 2 inch voice coil.

Very small magnet, very low cone control, very low power handling, etc.

The cones look pretty shallow so I'd say there's a decent amount of room for a largish magnet, but due to the surround on this woofer you're not going to get much excursion anyway.

Still lucky if it has 5mm of travel the way it looks. I'm betting you will end up very disappointed.

I would have looked at that and thought the magnets had been dropped.
