Nice find. I think that offer will end today.

Good price. I've used a few TB "full range" drivers and had good results. Never used that one though. Note, the sensitivity is 87 and they're good for 10W so you won't get a lot of hoohah out of them. If used full range you pretty much have to be on-axis as they turn into a lazer beam at high frequencies. For a cheap and easy transmission line get some 3" pvc pipe and go to town. Use a flat cap with a cutout to mount the driver, get some quilt batting that you can roll up and use as stuffing and then it's just like playing with legos.

Check out the Pioneer 8" full range (whizzer cone) driver.

Good efficiency and works well in a transmission line.

The sale on those TB drivers is over.

I find that most fullrange units with a phase plug are pretty much on axis only. This one should not be as bad as the other TBs with a plug.

The 8" pioneer is a popular and inexpensive fullrange. It needs a helper tweeter to fill in the upper highs.

Shouldn't the phase plug actually help out off axis response, not harm it?
