    Did anyone here receive a set of cardboard speakers in the mail this week or last? Several people in Texas have . . . just curious why some are getting them and some are not!? :confused:

    I got a cardboard box in the mail yesterday. Doesn't look like a speaker.

    What is this speaker you speak of???

    I was happy with my cardboard box. If you want it for some conversion it is yours. I am keeping the refurbished macro lens that came in it. :yesnod:

    huh, I bet someone will post them for sale soon on the NAM for $150.00 as a rare collectors item.:crazy: :lol:

    Did they give you wiring to connect them or do you have to go to the dealer and pay $75.00? :idea::ihih:
