    It's a scam. I think there was just a thread started the other day talking about some of the common "white van" speaker scams.

    This sounds about the same. Do a search and you'll find more info on the forum.

    Well... if you want to get into theory...

    I could sell stuff on EBay right now...

    Get some MDF, order a bunch of vinyl from PE or something... get some drivers on blowout off PE...

    Maybe put 50 bucks per speakers invested, sell them to some smuck for 300.
