    never seen or heard of em, but for 25 bucks, i'd grab em anyway. seems like a good party speaker at worst case scenario. if you listen to them when you get home, maybe you'll be pleasantly surprised.

    'Sonic' was the poor man's Pioneer CS or Sansui XP series of the day.

    The don't have much of a following today, but that doesn't mean they aren't listenable, or don't sport some sort of cool factor.

    The ones that I have come across I passed on, just due to driver condition. If you have the space, or a vintage rig setup coming in the future, I'd keep em around - they appear to be in pretty good shape. Be on the hunt for an older Pioneer, Sansui, or Realistic receiver to power them with.

    Cool finally .. Thanks Russ

    I am trying to go for the Retro look anyways in my Florida room/computer room, and these would be cool.. Maybe get an old receiver to go with them, The AMC shut down with these also :rolleyes: They say 5 way on the back.. i guess its alot of drivers to power, says 120 watts max... The drivers look great!! they sound good.. no distortion. crackleing, cabs look great as well.. i guess for 20 bucks not to bad, At good will today i found a like new Burley bike trailer for the kids.. 15.00 bucks, retails for 400.00 new, 2 -300 on e-bay used.. WOOHOO i had a good day today, also seen and passed them up dome Cerwin vega D-7's in great shape but the subwoofers surrounds were shot.. 20 bucks.. they sell the repair kits on e-bay and the cerwins go for 125 -3?? on e-bay regulary.. shoulda got em.. gonna see if they still there at the flea market tomorrow...

    What kind of crossover do all those speakers need? Is this 3 way, 4 way or what?

    1/2 Twin

    The first thing I thought when I saw all those drivers, was, "Sansui". It looks exactly the same, though I've never heard of the Sonic name until now.
    Ludicrous gibs!
