Thought I'd use these as computer speakers. They're John K's design ( http://www.zaphaudio.com) based on the little HiVi B3N, except that I used the round ones (can't remember whether they're the "S" or the "N"). They've a series notch filter to tame a breakup peak and some baffle step compensation. I've been feeding them a full-range signal, which is not optimum, and running them with my PSW1200. Other than the fact that they're not going to produce a lot of volume, they sound pretty good.
The drivers only cost about $10 each, and can be purchased from Parts Express or Madisound. I built the enclosures out of 1/2" MDF, rounded the corners and then wrapped them with walnut veneer. The baffles (which I'm not too crazy about) were sprayed with truck bed liner, then misted with Duplicolor "GM Light driftwood metallic", and coated with polyurethane. My son's idea ;)
If the pictures look a little distorted, it's because I still had the fisheye lens on my camera from when I took this shot (http://www.polkaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?p=328308#post328308), and I didn't feel like changing it.
