Actually, Maplin appear to sell the same speakers I've got.
They are an 8 inch duel cone chassis. Fitted with a 100 volt line transformer which you simply disconnect (and remove if you want to) and wire direct to the 8 ohm unit.
Obviously a classic design to have been in production for so long. ;-)
They do benefit from a bit of treble lift, though.
I'd have thought slamming the boot lid would produce even more air movement? Especially if a window etc was open in the car?
The rear parcel shelf has been a pretty standard place for speakers in cars for years. Why don't they get trashed?

Search ebay for "marine speakers". Fitted a pair in Mom's kitchen a while ago and she's happy with them. They were about 20 quid.
the items in ebay 400072463488 is what I got her.
Recessed (flush-mount) ones weren't possible, so had to go with the most unobtrusive ceiling-mounted ones I could find. They look fine on a white ceiling, in opposite corners.
A small sealed speaker of that type isn't going to produce much in the way of bass. One mounted in a ceiling - ie true infinite baffle - will. But they would be a lot easier to mount.
I used a mylar-coned burglar alarm extension speaker in its small white box. Sound quality is adequate for the purpose.
No room in the box for 100V line transformer so that went behind the multi-tap volume control outside the bathroom door. :-)

This coverage sounds complete!
What happens to the doorbell, 'phone and the neighbours screams?
Pamela did say she wanted half reasonable speakers to play music she could sing along to, though.
The 8" ceiling mount ones I have do just that - and at a low price. Assuming the DIY skills to cut a hole in the ceiling and run in the cables.
Yup. I have a decent sound system in every room here.
There's an extension door bell pretty close to the bathroom. But do I want to answer it when doing the things you do in a bathroom?
One in the bathroom.
If I didn't see my next door neighbours occasionally, I'd think them dead. They're the fourth lot since I've lived here, and the only ones I've never heard do anything. ;-)
I just noticed that, if you look closely, the picture of your speaker looks remarkably similar to the picture of the speaker I mentioned.
They look the same as this speaker from Amazon:
Are all these using a generic picture with the get-out in small print somewhere that the illustration is only indicative or are these actually the same unit?
I used your reference and got this eBay page:
Did your speakers come all the way from Australia?
Wouldn't surprise me to find the same product on sale at vastly different prices. In such a specialised field. But I've no idea what this sounds like. Only the Maplin one which I gave a link to, which does look to be the ones I've got. I may even have bought mine from them - I've had them for ages.

No, a UK supplier. Note the form of words I used: "the item in ebay
400072463488 is what I got her". It was an illustration.I can find the original purchase details if you want.
The eBay page showed me the sort of speaker you were referring to. I think it's enough to go on. Thanks.
