The white van speakers - would that be B&W DM604 or Polk LSi15 style for you?

I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    The 2500ti looks like Phase Technology speakers to me. I wonder if anyone has actually bought speakers from the white van guys?

    It is the deceit, misrepresentation of quality and value, deception, and potential trademark infringement of their marketing program that can be construed as fraud, hence, "illegal" IMO

    I wonder if you can get $50 for a pair of this POS, and use the box for DIY speak project? hmmm...

    Man - that was just what I was thinking.

    Take the box, use the MDF, get some wood wrap from HD. Focal woofers :cool:

    I am going to shoot at the next white van that asks me if I want to buy speakers.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    The cabinets are usually 1/4" pressboard. The XO is usually a single cap on the tweeter. The terminals are usually gold "colored".

    I've found cheap speakers at the local thrift stores often work pretty good. At least to mess around with and get an idea.

    They look alright for white van speakers:). I was expecting them to look crappy like some "PA" speakers.
