Strength:

Stylish, sound good, they pump

Weakness:

no model no., no real warranty, can't return them if something is wrong, no legitimate instruction manual. This is what we get for purchasing something in this fashion! Tsk, tsk to ourselves.

I agree with "Wolf..." Who can we really blame for this scam, no one put a gun to anyone's head and forced any of us to give up our money. Let's just admit it, we all figured WE were the ones getting the great deal or more realistically, robbing the seller. With this in mind, I too went home and instead of feeling like I had just been violated (NOT, because I was a willing participant), I hooked the speakers up and for the money I paid I feel as though I got a good deal. It's really not so bad if you look at it that way. Oh, as far as the 4 inputs on the back... they do work if you have the type of system that supports this feature. I have a Kenwood system the supports 4 A&B outputs.

And after reading about 10 pages of reviews from complete idiots who are to busy feeling like they got robbed!! HOOK THE DAMN THINGS UP. I am running them through a Sony DTS amp (350 watts) and they KICK-----------HARD! For everybody who wasted my time reading your long a@@ boring story only to tell me in the end that you haven't even hooked them up yet???????????????

These speakers sound great for what I paid and I hope to run into the white van again because I will buy another pair, the only thing I would do different is try to get an even better deal than I did the first time!!!!! P.S. If anyone is looking to sell another pair of 6.5's we can talk!! E-Mail me please

They are a rip off!

We were sat the bank and we saw this truck pull up and a man was asking people to buy this product. He told us $1200 speakers. We lowered it down to $320. We wanted to find out the value of it and we came across this website.

Strength:

Fairly decent sound.

Weakness:

what the hell are the 4 inputs for?

Well, sux that we all got scammed, but to be quite honest with you, I think the 6.5 mini tower speakers are worth what I paid for them. They produce a quality sound (obviously not the quality of sound expected from $1200 speakers) that you would expect from other speakers in the price range that most of us paid. On a different note, I am trying to figure out what the 4 inputs (2 positive, 2 negative) do on the back of the speakers. The guys I bought them from told me that if you hook one input up to your A channel on your receiver and hook the other up to the B channel, and turn both channels on, it doubles the input into the speaker. Unfortunately, only the A channel on my receiver produces surround sound, so when I turn on both channels, the surround sound is turned off (it says that is what happens in the manual for the receiver). I am not sure if this is a function of the quality of the receiver I own ($250 Sony from Best Buy), and top end receivers have surround sound capabilities using both channels, or if the 4 inputs on the back of the speakers are bogus and there is no way to double the input into the speakers. Has anyone with a quality receiver gotten these speakers to work like these a$$hole con artists told me they would? I am very curious what the rest of you think about the 4 inputs on the back of the speakers.

Strength:

pretty good sound, and they work!

Weakness:

what the hell are the 4 inputs for?

Alright, I am pissed that I got scammed. But, I only spent $233 on what seems to be pretty quality speakers. When I hooked them up, I compared the quality of the sound to my old speakers, and it was definitely better, although definitely not the quality of sound I would expect from $1200 speakers. The one thing I am pondering is what the 4 inputs are for in the back of the tower speakers. The a$$holes that sold me this thing told me that it was for 2 separate channels, i.e., if you have an A & B speaker output on your receiver, you can hook up both to the speaker to double the input into the speaker. Unfortunately, just my A channel works in surround sound (not sure if that is due to the poor quality of my receiver or not [a $250 Sony receiver from Best Buy]), so when I hook up both channels, the surround sound turns off. Have any of you other fellow scamees figured out if these 4 inputs work properly on a quality receiver? We all got scammed, but at least they work, and at least they are of comparable quality to other speakers in the price range that most of us paid. At least I learned a lesson - Never buy from a van!

Strength:

Decent sound/output

Weakness:

Stolen or Scammed

I got a similar 10'' subwoofer/amp. Its accually decent but I could never find anything online about the company. I cant believe they get away with this. They told me they were on their way to drop them off at a club and they could get rid of some on the way because they dont get invoices or something. Funny scam, but hey more power to them, they got us all suckered!
