Strength:

It works

Weakness:

They dont float

Anybody want to take these off my hands for around $250, that was a joke. Is this a real company that makes these, or just new labels?
Oh yeah white van guys, they have a white van and drive around jammin fine tunes like "Roll Out" and selling great speakers, depending on what you compare them to. I wish they told me the van had diamonds in the seats and was worth $100,000, I might have bought it for around $50,000 thinking I was getting a good deal!!!
I was gonna use the profits I made on ebay from these speakers to help the late Rev. Hosea Williams feed the homeless in ATL. oh well, Thanks guys!

Strength:

Ability to say no to guys in white vans and call the police, FBI, and my cousin Guido.

Weakness:

Blondes, 6', 120lbs, 34-23-20.

I'm April Showers' brother. I told her to stay away from guys in white van's, but being the know-it-all sister that she is, she didn't listen. Now she's the proud owner of a $1.99 pair of speakers which are put in 200 year old compressed particle board. I told her the best use for these was to take out the speakers and use the empty box for a commode (empty as necessary). In the meantime, I've informed her husband (a former Navy Seal sniper) to take her wallet with credit cards and lock her in the house for the next 20 years.
Sis was planning to use the money to buy me a few cases of bourbon...well, I guess that idea's shot to hell, huh?

Strength:

The salesman caught me outside the tanning salon

Weakness:

I didn't listen when my husband said, "Don't buy those damn speakers you stupid wife!"

My coworkers are laughing at me. I am ashamed of myself. Would someone who is a priest in the Catholic Church please contact me immediately. I require absolution and forgiveness for my sins against myself, humanity, my bank account, and all common sense of the typical American consumer.

None. I know nothing about speakers, yet I purchased a set sight unseen for $300

Strength:

NONE... ABSOLUTLEY NONE... well.. actually... they make great fish aquarium ornaments.

Weakness:

Only God can describe my pain from these weaknesses.

These speakers a CRAP! Pure and simple! The only good thing about them is that they produce sound when you hook them up. They're SPEAKERS!! They're supposed to do that!! I don't care.. I got my money back. And I'm glad I'm helping many many many many other people get their money back as well from all over the country. Read this message board well you scammers, because this is where people are coming to get their money back and file complaints to the LAW. It's only a matter of time when you get caught...

The governement doesn't like scammers (look what happened to ENRON.. and they were a multi BILLION dollar business.. not some small time rinky dinky scam like yours). After this Enron debacle.. you can rest assure that the law is not going to take it easy on the way you do your business.

Screw the customers, and the customers will screw you right back. Knowledge is power, and we have LOTS of power.

Strength:

They look like awesome speakers.

Weakness:

They look like awesome speakers.

Note to self:
1) White Van + Parking Lot + Me + $380 = SCREWED
2) NEVER EVER do this again! Too good to be true? IT IS!!
3) File a police report first thing tomorrow morning (if it works.. cool! If not, at least I tried)

OK, they basically made me their biatch last night, but A very expensive lesson learned.

Are they good speakers?
Maybe, haven't taken them out of the box yet. PLEEEEAAAASE WORK.

Are they worth $380?
HALEZ NO!! After reading this forum, and checking out Ebay(carefull there too!!), pay no more than 50 bucks for these speakers!!

What is Acoustic Image anyway?
They make amps... not speakers. Can't find anything on the internet about this company besides this Forum and believe me.. I can find ANYTHING on the internet... and THANK GOD for this FORUM!! My gut feeling is that Acoustic Image is a fabricated name tacked on a pair of generic speakers.

How can WE get these people back?
If you live on the Northside of Chicago please email me at james_hunvanich@yahoo.com. I want to organize a group so we can all go down to some police station and report this so they can start an investigation. I also want to report this to WGN (office is located in chicago) so they can do an investigation as well.

Well, was what they were doing illegal in the first place?
UH... YEAH!, scamming people is against the law, and yes, it can be proven in a court, and yes, we can get our money back.

How it all went down:
IF THE SITUATION YOU'RE IN SOUNDS SOMETHING LIKE THIS... and you really want speakers... offer no more than 50 bucks...
I'm a 23 year old software engineer who works for a very big consulting corporation on the north side of chicago.

So I'm coming back home after working out at work, I'm feeling good, and this white van stops beside my car at the light near my apt.

Speakers? Need to get rid of them for really Cheap? Because the national dealership made a mistake and gave you extra speakers for your boss's store? SURE! Pull over to the parking lot!

The Sucka: All right, what do you got for me?

Salesman on crack: OH MY GOD!! we just got extra speakers, and my boss gets paid $1162 for these speakers regardless of what we sell them for ... I just sold one like an hour ago to this guy for 500 bucks!!

The Sucka: (OK,I know this is kinda fishy, but sure why not?... maybe I can use these speakers!)
All I have is 80 bucks on me...

Salesman on crack: Is there an ATM around? We can just pull up to the gas station.. OH MY god, I can't believe they gave us extra speakers.. this is RIDICULOUS!! Is there an ATM around?! We can just go there!!

The Sucka: Yeah... there's one across the street at that gas station, but I'm not paying 500 bucks for the speakers, I'll give you the 80bucks plus 200 bucks from the ATM.
(wow, what an awesome deal! $280 for a pair of speakers worth $1162?! I can sell this on e-Bay for SURE!)

Salesman on crack: $380 is as low as I'll go.

The Sucka: (380? That's not bad... I have money... I get paid this week... that's still like 30% of it's retail... Too bad my internet connection is down at my apt.. DAMN excite@home and their Chp11, otherwise I can quickly check these speakers out before making the deal.... oh well..30%! I'll just check tomorrow at work!!! Acoustic Image... I've heard of that brand before... it's supposed to be really awesome... or is it?... don't remember... oh well!! 30%! Definintely for sure I can sell this on E-Bay... AWESOME!!)
Deal, Let me go to the ATM.

Salesman on crack: AWESOME!!! OH MY GOD.. THIS MUST BE MY LUCKY DAY!! WE JUST PARTIED HARD LAST NIGHT>> and this would be awesome beer money!!... Let put these speakers in your car!! (DAAAAAMN... I just made you my BIATCH)

Weakness:

SUCCESS!!.. I GOT ALL MY MONEY BACK!!

I apologize for the double post. Here are somethings I forgot to mention in my previous posts:
1) I returned my speakers after 6 business days. Use your discretion, obviously the longer you wait, the tougher it is to get your refund.

2) Read ALL MY PREVIOUS POSTS... they contain very useful info.
