I just received my focal polyglass speakers and they look like they've been used my Focal 165hc and PPI 4080 look perfect/new. I haven't hooked them up yet, but I'm sending them back.. what do you guys think? Here's the pics. I ordered through http://wholesalestereo4cars.com/home.html anyone heard or ordered through them?

 

The backend looks abused

 

HEre's the good one

 

Speaker looks blown. The cone looks "sunk."

Carefully push the cone in to check speaker movement... and check for rubbing feel. If you do, then the speaker is blown.

You'd want to push using two fingers one on each side of the dust cap so the force is even.

Sorry.. not making sense tonight.

 

Yeah it bottoms out alot sooner then the other one... ahh well I have to ship it back at my cost, and then they'll send me another one at there cost if they find it defective.. I wanted it in by the weekend but I guess it isn't going to happen now Hopefully this goes smoothly and they don't try to blame me for it, I never even got the chance to rip the doors off bahhh.. but at least the rear speakers are fine.

 

Yup... it's "sunk." Thus, it's blown.

Looks like a worn display item. I still buy stuff on Ebay. I take a risk and assume the item is used. The MB Quarts I bought were "new," and looked very nice and clean. No problems with these speakers so far.

I also bought a used Sony digital EQ to fill the gap once I get my Clarion deck.

 

I was also looking ta the Focal they sound great, I was listening to the polykevlar though, what made you decide on the polyglass over the polykevlar ones?

 

Vincey,

where did you purchase the speakers from??

 

I bought the speakers from wholesalestereo4cars HOllywood, Ca. , they said all there products they sell are new.. here's the website http://wholesalestereo4cars.com/home.html there only $215, but I guess its going to cost me more now since i have to pay for shipping to send them back wich i think is bull Can't i make them pay for shipping? I recieved them like this grrrrr...

 

I would be pissed too. Definately call and *****. They SHOULD pay shipping and kiss your *** a little too. Post this on www.caraudioforum.com for everyone else to know to avoid them too.
