I don't know anything about any wars, but you will not be dissapointed, and these Rhinos and cpws will be PDA (purple dot audio) and will be slightly different to the free drawings, wired ready to go @Hi Grade, sorry you had to drive all that way and be dissapointed
the container will be located in Romford Essex, right next to the M11 and M25 exits
cheers
Mike

just in case people read the thread and think you were dissappointed at the sound off the cab let them know u were short on cash and mis read the figures AGREED in ur emails and pm's You were after these cabs for a while and probably in your eagerness to snap up a deal u didnt look at the figures correctly and came all this way with not enough money so in that case it was a long dissappointing drive. I was even prepared to trust u and give u the cabs with the cash u brought then u send me the rest when u get back.
Well romford is just as far a drive so a little advice is make sure you travel with the correct money this time dont want the rhino to give u a butt and tell u get lost if u try to come up short again with cash. |

| Marvin I didn’t want to take I there this is gonna make both of us look like a pair of kids but seen as you have I suppose ill have to explain now? You tried to sell me second hand scoops for the price of new ones! And put on an extra 35 per cab for grills! The money isn’t really the problem I had more than that on me. You need to practice customer service your attitude is wrong you was trying to treat me like a crack head like I would die without your minis |

| You was ok on the phone I was even about to drive 60 miles to pick up your speakers from Roy! You seem like a ok guy so lets not make this personal we couldn’t reach a deal that’s all that happened no need to be bitter I drove about 500 miles iam not bitter at you! |

Those cabs weren't second hand, they were put together for u in a few days and didnt have 6 coats off paint as they would. Delivery usually 2 weeks from deposit which you were stalling all the time to give. If u read ur emails and pm you agreed to the prices for cabs and grills so lets not get it wrong. Making claims u can get the grills cheaper and dont even know the grade, size or thickness
As for treating you like a crack head dont know what u mean, i just dont have time to waste with time wasters. When i went onto the emails and pm showing that u confirmed the price then u want to come and say you didnt know the grills were extra.
Joyrides bought second hand cabs at second hand prices and he is very happy knowing he got a bargain. Why would i jepordise my name on the forum trying to sell second hand cabs at new prices. I am selling a brand. Alot of people want things and because it is a recession going on expect to get things for next thing to nothing. I do not need to sell these cabs the cabs sell themselves. People that want them know what they are getting. Hope u know what ur getting.
Talk is cheap, u say u prepared to get the drivers for me and you accidently drove past his turning and didnt answer your phone, also you say you couldnt get hold off him but when i called i did. He even waited indoors for you so i was amazed when i called him and you hadn't collected them hours after. Thanks anyway guess its the thought that counts, Anyway no hard feelings
They reason shorty got into finacial trouble is because of all the promised sales. I am a straight up guy LOADS of people on the forum several "old crocs" can vouch for me. Look at buyers sellers feed back threads.
I broke my rule of thumb with two orders one for cabs and one for horns. Which is put ur money where ur mouth is! I ALWAYS take a deposit usually 70% upfront this gets rid off the time wasters and on both off those occassions i went on their word and got F'd
Shorty kept taking peoples word and small deposits then when people back out or have some lame excuses it left him in the lingo.

I see the wars have already started
I have also spoken to Marvin and find him a cool guy, and yes, it wasn't a dissapointment about the sound of the cab, it was about the sale itself, Hi Grade told me he thought that Marv's minis at some carnival were great, and had great throw to them
wait till you hear my Rhino hi Grade!
 PM: Hi Duke, about 2.5 months from now
they will be my chamber size
250 unloaded and 350 loaded for the Rhino
thanks
mike
300 unloaded for the COW
these DON"T come with wheels, although I can sell the wheels cheap, but these wheels rattle when they are attached to the cabs, so no point
they won't arrive with old srews and very little coats of paint, but they will arrive with 5 coats of paint and come wrapped in a big plastig bag covered with a big cardboard box with poly corners , so no chance of them getting scratched
just for referance, as Marv obviously still thinks they won't perform well, I took '1' to a shoot out on Thursday for an install quote.........
I was up against 2 of these, they are active single 18 cabs with 1000 watt amps built in
http://www.master-audio.com/producto.asp?id=171 - http://www.master-audio.com/producto.asp?id=171
I played '1' Rhino with the driver mentioned in the above price, they played 2 of the the LN-18BR
.............I got the job!
bass was more musical, punchy, warm and low, I'll be putting 2 Rhino's into the club.
Remember what I said also about the 2 x 18 'EAW' cabs I put 1 Rhino up against? maybe I didn't mention the fact that they were EAW
the only thing is, they want them white with copper grills, off to find some copper grill today
@lev, sorry mate, I am a perfectionist when it comes to building, and that don't come cheap
"buy cheap, expect cheap" and 250 isn't exactly expensive
when your scoops arrive, don't argue that you can still see the veneers in the wood, because thats what you get for paying less than 200 pound, and I have seen in lots of pic's of someones minis on here lots of veneer showing through
someone isn't coming with the goods
for my paint job in the UK, someone would charge you 100 pound
 thanks

Hey matey, glad you are gonna ship your designs to the UK. No, £250 isnt expensive. Hi grade said the cabs would be a little over half price of a mini scoop, which means shade under £200, thats why I said "Dont say they are under £200". Full scoop with excellent paint job including full grill for £250, will be very good for UK buyers, as some builders are getting bit greedy over here now. ------------- "Who am I?

they're not getting greedy lev, materials cost allot today
don't ever get into manufacturing

THE POUND IS sh*tE LEV, can't help ya sorry
wait till you see my pretty styling, your UK builders/cnc middlemen won't be able to compete for 300 ------------- ......just all them hanging there like giant bananas. |

in and out Marv, just landed huge contract for an install, main room will have 12 x C4-S, so won't be able to stop for long in the UK
why you asking?
wish I could be there monday, take some pictures you lucky lot
How are you supposed to create a vibe if you can't turn it up at a carnival? please tell me it's a reading at a distance, and not at the boxs?
@Tek, didn't think of that, it's when I put 4 wheels on, I'll check to at the bottom today
it's the swivel wheels that rattle
to the member that ask are they sold, not if you put a deposit down
will only be a few of each because its a 20ft container, roughly 20 Rhino and 20 Cow I suppose

| Talk about no vibe seems like wherever u go they want to ruin the vibe did a posh venue in St. Paul's and during soundcheck the lights in the ceiling came loose. This was in the below section off the club to our amazement at the end off the night upstairs bar most off the bottles and glasses where smashed on the floor. (upstairs is closed off for private parties) cctv showed glasses and bottles moving by themselves so it is assumed it was magic lol the promoter wasn't happy cause he had to pay for the lights but wasn't charged for the drinks nor glasses. |
