I have a speaker that I made up from a cheap computer subwoofer/satellite
computer system that is wonderful for
CW and Phone use. It is an Altec-Lansing system where the sub box is all
that I use, after gutting the amplifier
and connectors and throwing the satellites and control box away. Just the
ported speaker. Nice black metal grill, incredible audio, and it looks
great as well. I keep the TenTec PS speaker on the desk, with this speaker
actually hooked up on a shelf. If you ever see one of the
Altec systems in a discount or salvage shop, pick it up. I got mine for
under $20, found that the amplifier was all distorted
at any reasonable level, and made the changes. Best $20 I ever spent on a
garbage product! BTW, it even makes the AM guys sound
good.

if you are looking for appearance buy the Ten Tec. if you want sound find a
good 8 inch woofer in a small wood box (auto application works great). that
sounds MUCH better. sometimes you can find such speakers at auto sound shops
cheap, but good quality--maybe even used for really cheap. i found two 8
inchers with one box--built for 2 speakers as i have 2 Orions--all under
$100. the 8 inch speaker is wonderful for the audio range of about 500-3000
Hz in such an application. it normally drops off on both ends.
