    Those are surely custom, you just will not find that wrinkle wall finish (like a drag slick upon take-off) on any manuf. speaker, truely a stunning work of art. Do you think they sound anything like the Bose wave radio?

    I like his expression "excellent excellent condition". Does it means twice as excellent because of the "custom wrinkle wall finish"?

    The 4-g's were not that great anyway. I have a pair of them in the garage and they're good for that, at least. The woofers were blown, so I threw some rockford fosgate punch subs in and now they really rock :-).

    The blue dome tweeter is interesting, though.
    Ludicrous gibs!

    man, I loooove those pins holdin' the grill on, an' I sure hope that's paint/stains on the top instead of just bein' dust! great look! the feeling he's created with his unique touches is quite amazing; I'm sure it will affect the mainstream audio manufacturers for years to come.......:rolleyes: ......:p

    "Frequency range: 60~1800 Hz. Crossover Frequency~3500 "

    What good is a crossover if the speakers don't even reach that frequency? Well at least the fit and finish are impressive.

    Note to self: ask seller if he would trade them straight up for my very excellent excellent Pentium II 300 MHz W98SE computer.

    He did a sloppy job on the Armor-all...

    Whats the point of armor-alling a tire if you dont armor-all the entire FRONT of the tire that everyone sees...
