I'm speaking of "Magnavox" speakers in general......... I don't think I've pulled a single horn from a Magnavox console. The ones I've found have been all cone drivers. I haven't paid attention to the horns on ebay much. Most of what I was speaking of are the woofers.Quote:

Here is a weird set,,Heppner woof and Foster horn
Magnavox 580088 horns, 581216 woofers & crossovers MINT - eBay (item 160496280201 end time Nov-19-10 18:48:24 PST)
Bingo!! My set up almost exactly. Those are my horns, the same crossover and the same foam box. Woofers are different.
ABG. I have a Fisher console and remote speaker doing TV service in the living room. Each cab has 3 Jensen 8" drivers in parallel. No crossover at all.
That's strange. Does it look original?Quote:

Of the 3 drivers, 2 are the same, 1 has more ridges, IIRC - maybe the "bass" unit. Not bad sounding speakers, really.
Wasn't there a thread about these Styrofoam console speakers last year.I remember the Styrofoam boxes because I can't imagine anyone making an enclosure out of it.
But I guess it works.Placed inside the console should be protected enough I suppose.
Hey Cal did you score those speaks (Madera's) ??
No response to my offer on those but I will be looking at the 886A's in the morning. Perhaps I'll throw my hat a little farther into the ring tomorrow with the Maderas. Thanks for asking, will let you know.
Well i hope you end up on top :)

Unlike the ones I've seen online, mine are glued together with what looks like construction adhesive.
Yeah mine were just taped together. Easy to open. The Styrofoam is now resting deep in the Maui county landfill.
