[QUOTE="Jeff Babcock, post: 51255, member: 46"] Re: Adding cheapo piezo horns to cheapo monitors. Ivan's advice is right on the money. The Motorolas are a bit harder to track down. You might want to browse the bill fitzmaurice forums for leads on places to source decent piezo's, as a number of his designs use them. Don't expect to get much output below about 2.5K from most generic peizo's (the motorolas tended to be better), and expect inconsistencies in response and output level of units. If you combine a few together (they're only a few $ each anyway, so why not) you'll get better power handling and it'll smooth out the response a bit. It'll not sound great, but will make noise and give you extended HF response. You can probably do something usable for well under $20 per box. Generic 1016's cost around $2-3 each. [/QUOTE]
