    The real question is can you do better for that much coin?

    Regarding shipping.
    The Ebay calculator say it would cost $27.49 to ship them to me in Los Angeles.
    That's amazing, since the set of SRT's I bought from Doug on here filled every inch of space in my Explorer. And there was barely enough room for me in the drivers seat.
    And that is an incredible price considering that it includes the surround speakers.

    These did NOT sell on the last go-round. perhaps contacting tey seller and making a deal outside Ebay may work. These are a hell of a set of speakers for that money.

    Looked like a incomplete set when I browsed the ebay page...

    "System has: 2 Front SRT Speakers, 2 SRT Active Subwoofer, 1 SRT center speaker, Active Control Module."

    No SRT rears. Bit of a let down for some if interested.

    The picture didn't match the description and when I questioned him about it the response was clueless.

    FWIW looks like he adjusted the description to take the surrounds out. Also looks like he just copied and pasted the original description anyway.

    I don't know what it is about these SRT's ,but the sellers always seem to have some kind of stipulations or say someone else is offering more money, etc..... who knows, maybe someone who has a SRT system lacing surrounds offered him a bunch of money just for his SRT surrounds.:rolleyes:

    I think more likely he never had them included in the auction and was just copying the description from another website. Someone probably asked him which surrounds he had (as there were two different ones) and he edited out the surrounds.

    Even the Polk website is a little confusing: Under the description it says " The SRT System is:
    7 enclosures, including: two main Front speakers, two 300 watt Powered Subwoofers, one matched Center Channel Speaker, two dipole/bipole Surround Speakers and an SRT Control Center with wireless remote." The specs say that the surround has 2 tweeters and 2 mid-ranges while the picture shows the other surround that was included a direct firing 2 tweeter 4 mid-range beast that more closely resembled the mains.

    Stipulations are never a good thing...

    any thoughts on what these are worth? probably impossible to find the surround speakers. but with the crossover box they can be used as stereo , may be I could use my sda srs 1.2TL as rear???????????

    I did talk to him, and the system is missing the two rear channel speakers, at the moment he is looking for $3300, or claims to have interest at that amount. Am I right in thinking that a complete set sells for $3500 or am I off in what price I am thinking of?
    And nhhiep I can't send a PM (less than 10 posts) PM me with so info on your complete system

    There are better systems on the market now but at least with the SRT's you get bragging rights.
