Nothing special, it's for a car radio fitted to my boat and I want to mount surface speakers on the wall.
The wall is fitted wood lined so I don't want to cut into it and I haven't the floor/cupboard top space for free standing ones.
There are ones on ebay for £50/60

however these are 3.5cm thick and 35 mm is not in my classification as thin. Also, what does passive mean in speaker context?
I don't want super dooper hi fi, just to be able to listen to the radio in the evenings so don't really want to spend too much more than above. ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

Passive means powered by source with no power supply of their own. Interesting thread, I am too after some low
profile speakers but for a different application. Let me know if these are any good. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

Thin speakers produce thin sound, get a subwoofer as well.
You may place the subwoofer anywhere, it does not matter, and it will compensate for the lack of bass and some mid frequencies, that you'll be loosing with thin speakers.
Now, thin/small speakers that would sound good/full/rich require some serious engineering, which only makes them expensive. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

I've read the Amazon review and it's just as expected. People having no understanding of how speakers and acoustics work, bitching about the sound lacking bass with limited mid range. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

I was hoping someone had got some and could say 'yes, these are OK'. It's rare that no one on here has an input on something. ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

After a bit of a ponder on the subject over the weekend I'm probably going to go with a soundbar and wireless sub combo.
I have one in the sitting room and the sound is good enough for what I want to achieve. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha
