They look really nice, the sound is good,the sub shakes the house a little bit. Not a bad deal, they still work great today

Yea same here two guys came up to me at gas station and said the warehouse screwed up and gave them an extra unit.. Wanted 400, I told them I just have 80$ they said no, I was like ok peace then they said ok we'll take it still Works great

LOL...they do this in bank parking lots on Fridays and Saturdays because people are cashing their checks....Same old scam...left overs from a job cheap.......beautiful(heavy) speakers with nothing but a brick in a box with cheap cloth. IT"S NOT EVEN ILLEGAL!...unless there is an ordinance.

I have been approached by all of these "businessmen". All told to beat it

Early 80's pick up full of Harbor Freight type tools eng hoist etc. had extra from a convention..........BS
Early 80's The speaker scam
Current: Meat and Seafood out of a pickup truck. Steaks look nice and thick, but since they are frozen and pumped up with water they really are shit
Last summer: Tractor trailer of furniture from Carolinas, would pull in the neighborhood on weekend and get all the milfs out there salivating for a deal. Real crap.
Magazine Subscriptions; Poor innocent 20 something selling the magazines to help pay for medical school. Overpriced crap

As I tell my kids, no one is knocking on the door to hand you a prize. They all want some of what you have
