Look at how it is constructed and buy the parts fromwww.partsexpress.com
.
Here are reviews from hams that own this speaker:
http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/2754

I don't know if I would trust that speaker to "sound sweet", it is a
"tuned port, bass reflex speaker", and those tend to have a peaky
resonant bass, not a sweet bass sound. *They probably used the "tuned
port, bass reflex" because the box would have had to be larger than
their target size otherwise.


How much bandwidth would a "Ham" speaker be expected to cover? Perhaps
the same as that required by basic telephony (300 - 3400hz)? Less?
Wiki gives:

Soprano (240 - 1170 Hz)
Mezzo-soprano (220 - 900 Hz)
Contralto (130 - 700 Hz)
Tenor (130 - 440 Hz)
Baritone (110 - 350 Hz)
Bass (80 - 330 Hz)

And Ham Radio ain't nohow opera... harmonics and overtones are
certainly less of an issue, perhaps? And no need at all to reproduce
basso-profundo notes for sure.

Looking at that information, things get a bit easier, perhaps?
