Radian 508/2BC-8 (5208c) 8" Coaxial with Passive Crossovers

[erinh]

Info:
I purchased this set of Radian coaxial speakers last week on eBay. I was considering using them in my car (yes, my car) but they're a bit too deep. So I'm selling them. Just looking to get out what I had in them. Here's the original eBay ad:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/291689112892...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

These will cover 80hz all the way up with a nice coverage pattern and 95dB sensitivity (these things get loud!). Perfect to mate with a subwoofer for a nice compact home system or to try to put in your car if you so desire.

Here are the specs:

USspeaker has them for sale here:

They come with the original passive crossover and ceiling bracket (if you need it for some reason) as well.


Condition:
These are in great shape. I've tested them both and all is well.

Asking Price:
$290 shipped, CONUS. Paypal.
Retail via USspeaker.com is $199/each speaker + $59/each crossover. So, about $520 for what I'm selling. Save $230.



Pictures:
I can provide pictures if desired but put them back in the box. I did take one picture when I was bench testing them, so I've included that below. If needed I can take them back out of the boxes and get pictures, though.

Being a compression driver, how is the dispersion?
I wonder if these could be a solution for me in my shop. Basically a 2200sq/ft wide open room with concrete floor, and open rafters/trusses.
It is a lot of space to fill with sound. And, I don't want "dead" or "hot" spots. High freq. dispersion will be pretty important.
I generally don't like horns. But, I guess that is what the EQ is for, huh?
I know my satellites with 1" soft domes are not cutting it. By the time I get it loud enough to enjoy over the shop noise, distortion is an issue.
Even with ear plugs in (yes I wear ear plugs while working/jamming, LOL)
How is the crossover build?
What kind of enclosure do these things need to jam in?

The spec I linked in the OP provides all that info but here it is again:
http://www.parts-express.com/pedocs/...ions-44924.pdf

They provide a frequency response using the crossover in a 0.9 cubic foot enclosure. The response measurements I've seen indicate a good polar. That's why I bought them. But they're just too deep for my car and I am all set with my HT speakers.
