    I would give him $200 for it and maybe save the poor thing, or just have it for parts..

    I wonder if he drilled holes in his sealed speaker cabinets for deeper bass??

    I've seen some stupid stuff in my days, but that tops them all right there. Hope nobody is gullible enough to buy it at that price.

    Somebody told him to cut the rubber/foam surrounds on all of his woofers and it'd improve speaker clarity. They're worth a lot more now. To a junk yard.

    I saw this earlier...I would consider buying it for a "deal"...as long as it is functional. What do you all would think would be a reasonable offer? 500.00, or less? Again, I am a sucker for a bargain...:o

    I'd offer less than $500 just because it's so revolting. Start at $400 and see if he even replies.

    Start at $300 if you get it dirt cheap and you take it apart and send me the shell I will powder coat it for you dirt cheap. The only thing is you would lose the silk screening but onthe end it would look a thousand times better.

    please don't, if you do let me know, I'll drive down tonight so I can save your gear from you..:p

    I sent him an email asking if he's also put tape on the inside (I pray he hasn't) and if he's tried to remove any of it to see how bad it would be if done.

    I'm tempted to buy it to try and save it...wonder if its a blue board unit, so much tape I probably couldn't even tell...hell he probably taped the board, you know because it sounds better.

    Here's the email I got back about the tape...

    "Hello,


    I did not try to peel this tape off.
    However, previous owner told me that this tape can be removed without any trace.


    Tapes are in and out side."

    Would the tape on the inside be a show stopper for you guys?

    Not for me but I have the means of tearing it down and getting it repainted for the cost of nothing.. With that said the price would have to be fair and $650 is not..

    agreed. at 650.00 it would be a good price if it didn't look like a ghetto R2D2.

    My concern would be the tape inside. Who knows what strange ideas the guy had. He could have pressed too hard on a board and broken something or taped over a cap that would pull out if you tried to take the tape off. Without pics of the inside, it would be a no go for me.

    Even so, I wouldn't pay much more than $300 for it, and that's only if I used it a secondary system that people didn't see all that often!
