    what I really like is when they throw some POS car subs where the passive goes and then say how it improved the sound. if these were 500 and not messed up and I had 500 (lol) I would be interested

    Wow...that's sad. The 3.1TL's aren't very common either.

    So, there's one less pair in existence...:rolleyes:

    I suppose they could be returned to stock, with some extensive repairs...

    Definitely not worth the $1000 asking price...not even if they were in original shape in pristine condition.

    I sent him an email with my thoughts on those speakers, he hasn't replied.
