    Is that real? I just read more. Says it was created in 2003. Wonder why it took so long for it to get out?

    I wonder if they ever made one for the US market in black or silver with the volume control on the left side for us left side drivers.

    It's been out in Japan for awhile. I saw someplace that was importing it about a year ago. Gimme a few & i'll find it.

    Of course car vibrations & tubes might not be a good combination...

    edit: oops- that site links to an importer...

    They also sell this version:
    Linky

    I think it has a built in MD player as well as CD. Pretty cool looking stuff, but I don't know how it would work in car audio environment.
    For rig details, see my profile. Nothing here anymore...
