| | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2008 Location: WI, USA | | | Hmmm, interesting. I was thinking about a GK MB115, but these look good. I like the eq, especially. |

I've always the best use of the graphic EQ has been to bypass it, anyway.
EDIT: Whoa, I just noticed that they have a 12/6.5/tweeter three way combo for $499. I can't wait to hear some reviews for this guy.

| | | | Looks good
And no silly marketing tube.
3 way looked interesting, until - some marketing spew got in there:
"12” NEO HORN LOADED WOOFER"
Version 2, they'll just make it a flat baffle and a little larger.

now 2 years later I'm still posting it for 1/2 of what I paid for it and still cant get rid of it. the taste in my mouth is too foul to consider giving them any more money.
I know it's not any representation on their products, especially their amps - but I feel I got burned. gonna feel that way for a while.
fwiw these amps look cool . . . but so do the GK's | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
