cheap speaker parts

[chchatham]

Hi - I bought a pair of Dahlton speakers, which apparently are a total rip off except for the cabinetry. I thought someone here might find the parts useful. If you would, I'm selling them at
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...=ADME:B:LC:US:1

There are probably other elements of the speakers which are salvageable... So hopefully someone here will find this useful.

the reserve is set to 50, and i'm sure that if its worth that to you, you'd win it. probably no one else will bid.

I'm sorry to hear that you got stuck with those speakers. You're not alone. I searched eBay and found 5 listings for Dahlton speakers. One guy is apparently passing on the scam and has them priced at $1500!
Here's an interesting review of these speakers.

Thanks for the link Tim, made interesting reading

Fortunately here in the UK we don't have such racket or at least non that I've ever heard of.
Generally I think anyone with common sense realises that something is wrong if they are approached in the street with offers of something for next to nothing.

Unfortunately we do Once whilst in Reading I was approached by some American guys in a ford transit. They pulled up and told me they were home cinema specialists and had these speakers left over from an install they had just done. They showed me those exact speakers that are on the site and asked £250 for them. At the time I knew nothing of these sort of scams but luckily I did not buy into it. I took down the registration details of the vechicle and reported them to the police. (I though perhaps they had stolen them and were trying to flog them off)

As for these http://www.gr-research.com/diyevents/white.htm whilst I was at college someone had speakers very similar to these they were eltax I think but had a front baffle and yep they sounded awful.

In my lifetime I have been approached by that 'white van' 4 times! I must just have the look! The first time was at least 10 years ago in Revere, MA., and as recently as a couple of months ago in Littleton, MA.(GR audio or something) This business has survived the test of time very well! Franchise anyone?

I think it's time for me to sell my pickup and buy a van.

there is also the dynalabs / fleetwood van speaker scam ,

they even have a website promoting the speakers as 1500dollar+ US , but as the photos I have prove, theyre probably worth about 1/10th of that

The Dynalabs scan is well documented here:

Someone even managed to get a copy of an internal memo between the crooksters on how to perform the perfect 'hit'. Its about halfway through the page and is very interesting reading.
