From an old Magnavox tube stereo. It used two cabinets, each with 3
speakers. The largest is 15" but it only has a 1 inch or so magnet.
This is to save money or is there another reason? The other two
speakers had similar sized magnets on 6" and 2" speakers. It looks
like they had a capacitor across each speaker to divide the signal
into bass, mid, treble sections.
I salvaged the speakers to make a bass amp but they look kind of
anemic now that they're out of the cabs. What say all of you?

These speakers were designed to play loudly with only a few watts input. You
might notice that the cones are made of a thin taut paper not unlike a
guitar amp speaker. They probably can't handle any more than 10 or 20 watts.
For a bass amp, you might look at true woofer drivers.
