These are mass-produced speakers marketed under various names, that often look a lot better than they are built, and worse, sound. These sort of speakers were sometimes sold out of a "White Van" by less than trustworthy characters, many of who have now moved their operations to the internet. |

New member Username: TcirinoPost Number: 3 Registered: Jun-09 | haha nah I payed like 150. at least they look nice I guess. Thank you for the information regarding the type of wiring I should use though thats what I was looking for because I don't think anyone would buy them on Ebay or anything. |

Platinum Member Username: NuckPost Number: 12725 Registered: Dec-04 | for 150, they might sound ok. I have heard worse. Tim, you might not be so bad off as it seems here, wire them up and have a go. |
