    You guys are way to hasty IMHO... those are the very first BOSE speaker ever made! They are worth a fortune. Run Larry and grab them before the seller sees this and knows how valuable they really are.

    A little stain, febreze, polyfill, and your good to go.

    Don't forget to spike them.. and if you really wanted to go the extra mile you can get some grill cloth from parts express..

    Hell put some 1" wood caps top and bottom with some grill cloth sides and you got your self some mini SDA 2's . Just staple a piece of wire from one speaker to the other to give you the look of having an SDA cable between the two..

    I just noticed that someone or something has started to stain them, so you might have to do a little sanding first..

    What makes it even worse, is that those don't even look like decent car speakers. They look like cheapo stock factory speakers...lol

    Those speakers have got to be the epitome of Hi-Fi.

    Back in the early 70's when my friends were upgrading their 8-track car stereo systems they used to use Craig or Jensen 6 x 9's that looked just like those. I even knew guys that had turntables in their vans. Hi Fi?
