Weakness:

got scamed but i had revenge

i was approached by the rednecks like 3 weeks ago ,in my college campus,,,i had a friend with me ,,and he supposedly knows about speakers ,,and said it was a good deal,,,so we droped $500...same story as everyone else (for the white van,invoice etc...)....then about 3 weeks later i saw them again driving down the same area,,,so i followed them and rammed them with my SUV(thank god to brush gaurds,,,) It felt awesome hitting those phuckers,,,one of them got arested only for having a fake drivers license from out of state while the other got away,,chicago cops really didnt give a care what they were doing,,,,i feel alot better now though,,,the crap still sits in my trunk,,,

Weakness:

everything else

what a joke. i bought these in new jersey, thinking i got a deal. the guy is a real salesman. I own a retail business and if i could find him he could be the president. Either that or he would be dead. I have plenty of money and that is not what angers me. I DON'T LIKE TO BE HAD. I bought a new 44 magnum weeks ago and i can't wait to break it in.

Strength:

Didn't fall for it

Weakness:

Wasted 2 minutes of my time

Just to let you know, it's not just the states.
Its going on all over London & England.
There's about 30 people in my office and 3 of us have been approached at various locations around the country with this scam. None of us was suckered.
Until I read this page, We didn't know what the scam was.
But as a general rule any 'retail outlet' that keeps the motor running should be approached with caution if at all as it is unlikely to have a good returns policy!

Sounds great! Cheap too!

Weakness:

scammmeeedddd and i fell for it..

I fell for the White Van Scam... as described,, it happened EXACTLY as ive been told now heh..
Pumping gas at 7-11...white van pulls up.. spahish guys show me speakers telling me sizes and prices... These were not acustic images ones, these were Linear Phase 8810 Studio Monitors! (Phase Linear knockoff's)...i said.. welll ill give you $200 for a set of 12's (2" tweater, 2" mid, 12" woofer)... he complained that some other guy gave them $700+ for a set and i was like.. oh well..bye... then they were like NO NO NO WAIT WAIT! then they pulled a pair out of the van, shoved them into my car before i could do anything adn then i just gave them $220 cash and i wrote the license number down in case they were stolen or somthing (this is my first scam i was taken for)..i really wish i kept the license number or followed them a bit.. oh well...

anyhow... i have them hooked up to my Sony 5.1 dolby system.. i have a full 100W RMS cranked into them (as front speakers) and they handle it just fine... then sound REALLY good... crystal clear highs, nice thundering lows... i do have a sub for the extra lows... and 2 cube speakers for the rear.. but these speakers handle everything i threw at it.. i can hear them almost fully cranked about 6+ houses down clearly heh... If you see the White Van... then dont run, play them out... make them pratically GIVE them to you..
i have read various White Van Speaker web sites and most say dont ever pay more than $200/pair if any at all... so if you see the white van... be set to take no crap from those idiots and try to scam them back, if you can get them to give you speakers REALLY cheap, then call the cops on them ;) (lots of fun)... anyhooo..

i am perfectly happy with my White Van Scam Speakers :)

I should have kept walking !!!! But no I stop, got suckered, and gave three idiots $300. It's the same story as everyone else. The speakers suck, and will be used as firewood. I can't stand to even look at them, it brings back bad memorys. Warn your friends, but not your enemy's. Never NEVER buy off the street,that even goes for those who get lonely at night.I hope all of us have learned are lesions.

Three young caucasion males in a white van sold me Acoustic Image 600SL speakers asking $1000 dollars settling for $300.
I was approached outside of a bank in NJ, the speakers were loaded into the van buy mistake so they offered me a deal for them. I thought I got a good deal but after contacting the company Acoustic Imaging, they have no affiliation with the people selling the speakers, Acoustic Imaging is a retail store. They do not manufacture any products, it is illegal to offer any types of warranty for there is no company to back these speakers.They did have warrenties in the boxes
