Cheapie speakers w/ grills to use with comp speaker hack

Ok,  these may be awful, but I thought I'd throw them out here anyway.  I've seen a number of posts over time asking where to find cheap speakers and grills. 

Well these are cheap @ 10 bucks a pair (although shipping might jack it up quite a bit).  Might work ok with the amp from a set of computer speakers.  Small enough for most cabs.

Just thought I'd throw the info out...


Edit:  Just realized that they are not sheilded, might be an issue for some folks.

sucks, they would near perfect for a lot of smaller projects especially.  Shielded is a near necessaty for a cabinet since it will be up near the monitor (bad for non-sheilding) or down by the bottom where your computer is...

I had some non-shielded speakers in my cab for a while... and I used tinfoil to help (and it did some) but got real shielded speakers and never looked back... MUCH happier now.
