Default "Porsche 944 Sub" Ebay junk

Hey guys....

This guy is selling a subwoofer made "just for the 944". I was at walmart yesterday and saw the same thing for 25 bucks. RIPOFF!!

And to think that the Porsche lisence plate in the picture almost fooled me into believing it was an OEM system! Dang, 300 watts! That must be why there are two security braces in front of the subwoofers so they don't blow my hatch glass to pieces!

Thanks for the heads-up, Jared. I figured those were crap.

at least the seller is kind enough to keep everything private. this way you cant read feedback from people saying they were ripped off with wal mart junk labeled as porsche custom.

and more importantly if you are the sucka that buys one, your identity is kept secret so the world (and more importantly other scammers) doesnt have to know you were scammed out of $50.

Did anyone send the seller a question, inviting him to rennlist since he has such a nice S2? Hey Perry, I think his car has a gray interior.

Yeah, I've seen that before on eBay. And in Walmart. What a joke. Stay away from that guy.

I sent the seller a question over the fact that his same product is sold at Walmart for 25 bucks. I never got a reply :P

yea ive seen it at walmart too. I think ima start buying them and start selling them on ebay too. When i asked him the question he responded with something like the one he has is a quality built item and that it isnt the same as the one in walmart.

The one thing im not certain about, the one in walmart, i think its just the box. I think this guy adds the speakers and subs to it... but i could be wrong

You are wrong The walmart unit comes as shown-complete
It is ebay...take it with a grain of salt.-though I never buy from someone who does not show feedback.
This person loves to drink and drive!!! Check the other listings!!!

Please buy two of them, put one in your car for an identical picture and put an ad on ebay with an identical title and a starting bid of $17.
