Hmm, these might fit in my cab.  I am having trouble finding some speakers like this that will fit in my candy cab, i need really small ones. how big is the speaker if you decase it?  anyone know? Oh well, if not the price is low enough to get em and hack em up :)

By looking through the front grill and estimating...  I'd say the roudn speaker part by itself is right about 2.5" in diameter.

I got this same deal at Circuit City as well. I have seen the offer another time or two so perhaps they do it regularly. Keep an eye on the Sunday paper. These speakers are great!

I bought the Walmart $20 speakers today for my cocktail WIP.

They're okay.  They're certainly not the best speakers, but certainly get loud enough.  In fact, they're TOO loud and when I crank up the volume control, I quickly reach exceptional levels (and distortion).  I literally have to turn my overall system volume AND my WinAmp volume wayyyy down to get to a level where cranking up the speaker's volume control doesn't sound like it's going to blow the speakers.

In any case, my biggest gripe is that there's no tone (treble/bass) control.  If it wasn't for that fact, I'd recommend these to everybody.  But even at a low price of $20, I wouldn't want to use these for my day-to-day computer use with no tone control on the speakers.   For my cab, OTOH, I think they'll be fine.  Those old-school video games sound okay through these.

Lilwolf:

Yeah, but 12 bucks shipping...

I have one set and love them.   Looking for a second pair... missed the last circuit city sale :(
