haven't even listened to these speakers yet - but i think i got scammed. i too, bought mine out of the back of a van... enough said. i bought two at $250 cdn a piece, and suspiciously enough it was right across the road from a COSTCO, but i was just eating lunch at burger king and i've never even been inside COSTCO so i wouldn't know they were selling the speakers too.
they must be a scam, why else would all of these people have bought them out of the back of various vans?

at any rate, do not buy speakers out of the back of a van. hehe... you have to admit though it was pretty creative.

Don't know

Appearently everything according to other reviews

K, I purchased them about an hour ago, not knowing nothing about the brand from the back of a van by this white guy. As soon as I get home to check it out on the Internet I realize I got scammed. Just like everyone else said....use your first instinct and think to yourself "ain't this too good to be true?". Then again, in the position you don't think and its only till you get home (like me!) you realize you got screwed. I'm gunna try to sell em off though for the same price I paid for them to a buddy of mine so I could at leat get them off of my hand and break even. Then from there he could deal with it!!

great for making huge profits

SOLD BY 2 GAY FRENCH MEN IN A DARK GREEN GMC VAN

I would like to say HA! to the two gay men that sold me grafdale speakers for $400 dollars. I got someone to buy them off me for $1500. So...HA! All I can remember is one of them telling me a story that he has 5 kids (please god let them read this) The location was at Bathurst and Finch. Remember!!!! Gay man in the green GMC van says "I'll turn the van around so you can keep an eye on your kid, i have kids so i know what its like" WHAT A F_A_G! well thanks for the easy HUGE profit.

Ferrofluid cooling system
Bass, great sound at high volumes

This product is brand new! Just out of the Market. Although some people skeptical because they buy them on the street. But don't be fooled!! The listing price for these speakers are around 1500 U.S. Dollars. Its a steal for that price. Why is it a steal. Well the technology on the speakers. The technology i'm talking about is the unique Ferrofluid cooling system. This cooling system alows the speakers to cool down at long usage. Thus, which allows better bass sound. When the speakers are overheated or too much heat is generated, the bass sounds too distorted. Watch out for these speakers in the future. If you bought a pair lower than the listing price than you got a great deal. I heard of people buying them at $500 U.S. and selling them for about $1000. They will be in high demand soon!!!!!

Sound good for 200 a pair

staticy at high end

For 200 I am not goin to argue.
My Bro got nabbed 2 years ago,
the speakers are good, so I figure why not.
Sounds like it was the same 2 guys
They are the biggest twits in the world.
They are at least as good as some of my more exepencive ones, even louder.

Low to Mid Level volume

High Level Volume

These Speakers sound pretty good when played at moderate volumes. If you try to crank them up, they get distorted, and the treble is so high that it makes your ears almost bleed. I had them hooked up to my home theater receiver, and i blew both mids. So now I am just going to replace all the components, because they have nice boxes, and will probably sound much better as JBL speakers, anyway. Good price for the quality, though.

I'm an idiot

Just like you guys, bought a pair of these "highend" speakers from the back of a van for $400. Searched the internet for this company, and here I am!

Next time buy legit, buy a brand you recognize!

None that I'm aware of...

Crappy speakers sold by people without conscience

Confession: I sold these for a day!

Must have been 15 years ago... Just out of High School I answered an ad for "commercial audio sales." I think it said something about selling soundsystems to nightclubs and such. Anyhow, sounded good to a 17 year old trying to figure out what to do with his life. I called and, without any real phone screen, the guy said "be at X address by X AM. He also said "bring a friend"... I did.

My friend and I showed up at the non-descript warehouse in the Washington DC area. The first thing I noticed was the fleet of unmarked white minivans out front. Next, upon entering the warehouse, I noticed hundreds... thousands of speaker boxes. These were all the same speakers. there was no other audio equipment. They were all marked "Atlantic Sound model XXX?" Anyhow, I still though this could be a good thing... "maybe this was the speaker warehouse and the amps, etc were someplace else."

The first clue I had that something was awry was the passing of the bong. Yes, this circle of 17-30 year old guys were firing-up before they hit the trenches. Even at 17, this struck me as a bit odd. Furthermore, it struck me as odd that they'd do this right in front of the 5 or so new "recruits." These recruits, myself included, were people they had never met or really talked to before. I though this to be an interesting way to start a new career.

I started asking questions re: the job, the equipment, etc. They were, of course, not answered. They all just said "you'll see when we get out there."

Going "out there" was quite the experience. Draftees were teamed up with an experienced driver and sent out to scour for sales. We loaded up the trucks and disbanded. As I was riding off with this driver I didn't know where we were going or what we'd be doing. I still assumed we'd be selling to bars, etc.

Finally, when we got to our designated neighborhood, the driver spotted a car and asked me to pull it over. I flagged the guy down and the driver got out and ripped into his pitch. I just sat there looking dumb... actually, I was in shock. I couldn't believe what was taking place. I was now ripping people off. Read the rest of these posts to get the pitch, speaker quality, etc.

Anyhow, as my car was back at the warehouse and we had travelled about an hour from there, I was stuck. I rode around with this guy all day. We would up selling all of our speakers.... I think twelve pair.

At the end of the day, the driver said he had cleared something like a thousand dollars. He gave me ~$200. Not bad for a day's work when you're 17. This pay was especially sweet since all I had to do was flag down cars and look dumb (I job that wasn't a stretch at 17).

At the end of the day, I was just too freaked out about ripping people off. I decided to bail on this career opportunity. Two months later I was earning ~$690 a month working for my uncle Sam. My buddy continued on with Atlantic Sound or whatever the company was called for quite a while. I'm sure he was earning my monthly salary every day. I wonder where he is now.

None this bad

I didn't buy these speakers, my friend did.
when he told me, i knew they were crap, and i haven't even heard them yet. I suggest, if you buy these, try selling them to someone else.
bring them to a place that buys new/used goods, see how much they'd pay for them.....

None.

Stupidity on my part.

Same as all you guys here. Thought i was getting a pretty good deal. Sure it was most likely grey market but what the hell for a mere $400. That was until I did a search on the brand via the internet...and ended up here. Oh well..easy come and easy go I guess. Shoulda known better!
