Don't buy any "extra" sets of surround sound speakers out of anyone's van.

I've been hit up TWICE here in the Cincinnati area. They tell you they have an extra unaccounted for surround sound system they will sell you for cheap. I didn't know it was a nationwide scam when I was approached. I just assumed they were selling stolen goods. If they approach you, either tell them to piss off, or see how long you can string THEM along before they get frustrated!

So you're saying to not buy speakers out of the back of a van? Wow, thanks for that information, I don't know what we'd all do without you. Does this mean that I can't take candy from a man in a van with kids pictures plastered all over the inside either?

You saved me from imminent life failure, I own you everything.

I doubt the Klipsehorns I'd want would be extra or used for surround sound :)

I had a dude try to sell me some huge home stereo speakers in Fairborn a few years back. He said they were $2,000 Retail, but he could sell them to me for $700. :rolleyes:

I worked a gas station many years ago, and these type folks would stop in frequently. Selling everything from watches to STEAKS! :rolleyes:

Yeah...I was approached by a "van" almost 10 years ago......I asked them to hookup one of their speakers to my 450 watt Earthquake amp pushing a set of Kicker Comp 12" subs......they declined and I left. :dunno: :D

Read some of his build thread about that RX-7. Then you will know just how far you just shoved your foot down your throat.

I could give a crap how much faster you car is than mine. How much dedication you put into it. I'm sure it's a very nice car. It's just funny how the old saying "Don't dish it out if you can't take it" always holds true on the internet. Anyway, this has really drawn out more than it should have. Sorry I started it.

Guy was just letting people know that you shouldn't buy speakers out of a van. For most people that's common sense. No reason to be an ass to him for it. Leave that crap at CSS.

P.S. Unless he's a Steelers fan...lol (j/k)
