Looks...
Weakness:
You can buy them out the back of a van. Guess I joined the boat with all of the people that bought it out of the back of a van. Paid $200 bucks at the banks parking lot. They look nice sound alright from what I use to have. Hooked them up to my computer. Guy that sold them to me pitched it good. Something about "the warehouse gave us an extra pair for a job that we are doing and im trying to get rid of them to get a little bit of extra cash....ect..." Well I fell for it and bought a pair. They even had a book they made where the cut and pasted some prices of $1,200. Guess Im not the only sucker...JBL SB3's rule!!!! |

I got jacked
Weakness:
I wanna kick his ass if I see him again. That SOB... I got these out the back of a van and I'm really pissed I bought his story. He completely played me and didn't care that I scrounged up the last 180 I had in the bank. I swear I should have called the cops. At least I feel better knowing tons of people fell for it. I couldn't care less if they were good speakers. Similar Products Used: notice if you call the warranty dept it's for like 10 different brands. They dont even have their own website. |

Sound ok have not run any serious power through them yet.
Weakness:
Scam I was also approached with the speakers and thought I had found a deal. They look nice and actually don't sound that bad. Now that I have read the reviews I have been HAD. At least I got the guy down to 2 bills. I guess we all lean from mistakes. Similar Products Used: JBL |

Strength:
I LIKE THE BASS THE STYLE OF THE BOXES AND THE RESAILABE LOOK THEY HAVE.
Weakness:
THEY WONT TAKE THE 400 WATTS LIKE IT SAYS ON THE BOX BUT THEY TAKE A GOOD 300 WICH AINT BAD. Well from what I hear there not the best in the world but Ive definatly heard worse for alot more money than spent. I fell weak to their sales pitch and I even sold a friend a pair for 300.00 and hes happy. They look nice and from a sales persons point of view I could sell a million of them.Easy! But Im not worried about the price I paid I Know I can double that easy "even used" I Have a pair of klipsh in the same class as these and they sound worldS better but I payed dearly for that sound too. Nothing in life is free and if it sounds to good to be true it probably is. Buy the way anyone want to buy a pair in the box right now 400.00!!!! Similar Products Used: KLIPSH,PIONEER,JBL,SONY |

Weakness:
THEY ARE SOLD OUT OF THE BACK OF A VAN. I didn't actually buy these but I work at a high end audio retailer and I get calls about these speakers all the time. I myself have been approached to buy these several times from the back of a van. These speakers are worth no more than $50 a pair at most. And the only reason I say that is because it would cost you about that much to buy all the extremely cheap parts and take the time to assemble them, pack them, and pay for the gas you will need to drive the van you rented until you can find some poor guy to buy them. Don't be fooled by these reviews that say the speaker is not bad for what it costs. If these people had done a little research they could have found that just about any speaker at this price would sound much much better. Similar Products Used: Hopefully there aren't any. |

Strength:
good spectrum. They are better as the ones I bought 20 years ago for double price
Weakness:
Keep them at least 2 ft away from a tv set or your video tapes... You don't beleave it. They sell it also out of a van here in Europe... For what they are they sound quiet good with an equalizer.... |

Strength:
Cheap an better than nothing
Weakness:
They lost quality in sound after a week. Definetly immitations, they look professional and appear as if they would sound great. Looks can be very dissapointing though. They sounded great when I first ran power threw them, but after a week they seem to have lost the touch. Speakers aren't even the same as of what are advertised in the papers that came with them.
