Default Taken for a fool??

Okay did I just get taken for a fool over these speakers. I didnt look at them closely til just now. To me they seem to resemble household speakers quite a bit... I could be wrong tho.





I apologise for the shotty pics. Cameraphone sucks

haha I paid 60 for them... i know Im a moron. Got home and was looking at speakers on the net and noticed the differences in them and the ones I was looking at. I guess if I decided to look on the bright side of things I just paid full price for the amp I bought an hour before those.

there is nothing wrong with using home audio speakers in your vehicle. People do it all the time. you jus thave to make sure you build the proper enclosure and amp them properly, just like a regular car audio speaker

@bobditts - Do you know of a guide I could use to build the proper enclosure and amp it properly? I was looking online and they spoke of using power inverters and changing circuitry. Sounds like a whole mess of extra headaches to me.

Not saying theres anything wrong with using them. Just to me it seems like alot of extra work and pulling some Macgyver style stuff.
