What more would you want in a speaker?

[Dingman]

I think the cabinet started life as a crate? And I think I see some duct tape, and red RTV on the speaker cone?
I bet he's right, it could get loud!

Seller says:

This is custom made. It has 15" Driver, 3 Klipsch Xommercial Frade Ceuling Speakers and 3 Cross overs with a mid and a high!! Enormously loud!!!​

I'm not sure what Xommercial Frade Ceuling is, but how could you go wrong?

 

[teal'c]

When you need Xrofessional Frade gear?

 

[VYNULADIKT]

Is that three angled off axis coax drivers on the side? Must have great imaging.

 

[VYNULADIKT]

Oh! How did I miss that it is a combo front AND side surround speaker.

Is that a cardboard box?!!

 

[guest139]

Lol!! That’s terrible.

 

[swechsler]

Is that a cardboard box?!!

No, if you look at this pic (taken from another angle) you can see it's some kind of wood. However, I can't imagine that it would sound any worse in cardboard.

It should end life in a ball of fire.

 

[toxcrusadr]

Hey look it's even got a porthole.

 

[lokerola]

For $2 I'd buy it. Just to hear it. Then burn it in my firepit. As a sacrifice to the audiophile Gods.....

"What more would you want in a speaker" was asked. A few gold bars for added weight would be a starter.

 

[Dingman]

We have to assume the creator of this frankenstein is quite proud of the effort - this is priced at $200

 

[Dingman]

Duct tape on top and look at that dust cap, LOL! I'm still chuckling over this.
It has 3 crossovers!!!
