Anyone ever heard of midwest electronics? They have 1 google rating, and that's all I can find out about them.

I'm thinking about getting those, but 2 12s in a box for 100 bucks shipped seems like its too good to be true.......

that's not nearly as good a deal as you think. The box is worth maybe 30 and the low-end subs I guess make up the rest. I'm sure it would do ok as a low powered bass filler.

I realize they aren't anything amazing, but shipping with UPS is 50 bucks to my house, even with volume shipping discounts, its not less than 30. So 30 bucks for the box and 30 bucks for shipping - that's 20 bucks a piece for 600W subs, from a brand I've heard of.

The next best deal I can find for two 12s is 150 PLUS shipping, from a brand I've never heard of, and anything else is 200+

Anyone ever heard of midwest electronics though? They are on amazon, so I might just buy it through them for a little added security :D
