Yes.  It depends on the set up.

The setup would be two series pairs in parallel.  Not a great solution for cool colors (green, blue, cyan and white) I'm afraid :(.  Red, amber, yellow, orange and purple work well.  Without getting too technical, it is because  the forward voltage of the blue, green, cyan and white exceeds the 7.4V set up so you will be under powering the LED.  Add that to the fact that the current available from PC  is right at 1.5A (vs. the 2A available on CFV5), which will give you right at the minimum current of 750 ma per die, there is no ability for the current to help compensate for the under powering.  Honestly, for a blue, green, cyan (Lux V only) or white you'd be better off with either a 5W LEDEngin, a Lux V, or a P4.

Also, keep in mind the 10W is a $30 LED so if you can't maximize it's potential either with multi-die effects or with full power, it may not be worth the added cost.  Of course a Lux V is pricey too, particularly since they are no longer being made :'(.

Those 10 watters are best suited for a CF.

I believe Jay gon has used some of those speakers, and they were of good performance.
