Should I just use the speakers in my CRT TV for my cab?

Thats what I would do....just cut and add slack to the speaker lines...
Now this is an idea...but couldnt he take some type of weatherstripping ( foam strips) and place that behind the glass to muffle the vibration? That way he wont have to take it apart...But also at the same time...he will be only 2-3 feet from the TV/Monitor....Does he need it to be that loud?
I myself didnt have that option and I went with the car speakers above the monitor...I hardly adjust the volume on mine time to time...
With the options this guy has, I would go the cheapest route.

Maybe i'm a little dumb but if you re not using the TV speakers why shoud you be worried about their vibrations?

The question was if he should use the TV speakers or go a different route

Personally, I would build it in such a way that would allow me first to see how good it was using the TV speakers as is! Then if it is crap, you can always follow the other route. Just seems crazy to me to jump straight into something more complicated before seeing whether or not it suits your needs!
I had a touchscreen monitor that had built in speakers. However, I didn't take my own advice. I built some crappy old PC speakers into the cab. Later, when I ended up testing the monitor speakers for something else, I realised just how good the sound was through them and that it was so much better than what I had set up!

Price is an issue though $20-$30 won't kill me. However, I've never removed the casing from a television before, which I would have to do if I was to remove the speakers on the tv- I'm a little nervous about the whole process. I guess I could read a little more up on it.
Yeah, I would have plexi in front of the tv, so it very well might rattle. I could play around with the foam as someone else already mentioned, but maybe if I'm picking that up it might be worth it just to get some cheap car speakers or computer speakers.
The TV is sweet for a cab but the location of the speakers is annoying as all get out.
