Possible Fraud Alert A large number of users have reported these speakers are being sold well above their intrinsic value under false pretences in parking lots, flea markets and online auctions. See White Van Speaker Scam for more info.
Summary: Ok you all may have been scammed by these guys but not me....i have heard of the stories and i truely believe them....i am 18 and have been employed at Suburban Electronics in Michigan for the last 6 years...I came across these speakers from a friend of mine at E.M.U....he had found them in the garbage on the Campus and just simply donated them to me to se what i could do with them.....the first thing i had noticed was, the crossovers were totally wrong....thank god the colleges kids had only tripped the make-shift relay in there, and nothing was blown...The first thing i did was consult my good friends over at Fox,Int''l inc. and ordered the CORRECT capacitors and Power Resistors in its place. To my Dismay, the speakers were reading at 32 Ohms.....for you Dumb-Audio phreaks, this is increddibly high (like blow your outputs high)...so then i had to go to Almas Hi-Fi (very hi-end shop), and talk to a buddy of mine there....needless to say the Crossovers i had made were in fact correct, per-say...but in the same sense they were wrong...With a little patience and a little prior knowlege, i was able to get them to come around...to make a long story short, i have made these junk-ola speakers into MACKDADDY SLAMMERS, for only 50$....hehehe
Strengths: Nice looking, decent for the average audio nut....
Weaknesses: built like junk, waaaaay over-rated....and a major pain in the crack...

Summary: A guy in a blue Chevy Astro Van drove up to me at Metro Center Mall and said "I need to deliver four speakers and I have four pairs of speakers and need to get rid of two pair before delivery". He showed paperwork and copies of business license. He said these are $949 speakers and he will sell me a pair for $300. I though at the time was a good deal until I started doing research. I think I am a real idiot now! Remember one of them drove a blue Chevy Astro Van. If I find the guy he screwed over the wrong person.

Summary: Buyer's beware. These speakers are nothing but junk. The guys selling these are running a hardcore SCAM on poeple who are looking for a good deal. These speakers are being sold through out Arizona by a couple of young guys in a van. They claim that they have some extra speakers and that they have to get rid of them fast before they have to report back to their boss. They will tell you that the speakers have a retail value of $949.00 and they will show you a bogus invoice to fool you.****THIS IS A SCAM****DO NOT FALL FOR IT. These guy should be shot for pulling crap like this on people.If you run into these people you should rob them for all the money they are scamming off people.
Strengths: They LOOK like really nice speakers.
Weaknesses: EVERYTHING
