And I know what you're thinking: "That lucky guy, how did he get his hands on a pair of those?" Well, let me tell you, I was strolling around the local goodwill looking for some used bullshit to coerce into being weird shelves in my bathroom, and I stumbled on a pair, they were $7.99 each. For that price, I knew that there was something wrong, but, to me, the speaker boxes were worth that for playing around DIY style and I had doubts that the plate amps were completely broken. I thought that the most likely outcome was that one or more drivers were blown from abuse. I didn't notice pattern of the duct tape marks on the back of one, whatever.
Got em home, one works great, the other one, also works great, if, you hold the volume knob in. Ah, the duct tape marks were where the tape applied pressure to the volume control. Turns out it was a B10k trimmer style, took me about 1/2 hour to replace. Typical jerry rig it until becomes it's too annoying every time the bass causes the speaker to cut out, give them away, and get something new.
They're not great, but extra speakers are useful and they're the best set of sub $20 monitors that I've ever purchased.
BTW: There's nothing really special about the design. Simple analog crossover, class A/B car amp chips, no, not even close to the stated 75/125 Watts, more about 12 to 30 watts per driver. Typical boxy bass that you always get in inexpensive five inch bass-driver monitors.
