their 99 i think, i just went to west marine the outher day to look at them

Yep they are $99.oo @ WestMarine.com
Someone told me they used to be $300, I dont really know. I do know they sound great! I looked at the bose, and liquid audio, I even thought about custom fabricating fiberglass tubes, but for the price I couldnt beat these.
They are 8ohms but it dosent seem to pose a problem, as it is I cant turn them up all the way with put the music being deafening (sp?)

Here's mine. The mounting setup is totally ghetto, but I'm still figuring out how I want to mount 'em. I can take 'em all off with 4 bolts so it's still easy on easy off. Sorry for the pics, I'm using a $40.00 Wal-Mart digital camera (photography ain't my thing baby...)

Guess I need to peel off the blue labels on the back..

Brooks, how do those sound, especially the Kicker subs on the tower? What do you have powering your setup? Looks great!

Hey Bob, what kind of speakers are those, and how did you mount them, if anything I think it's insane how much people are trying to charge for speaker set ups. I'm amazed that people pay that much, any way yours looks do-able, tell more.

Utah,
Here is a link to where you can get the speakers.

Believe it or not, my mounts are just 2 pieces of pressure treated lumber painted black. 1 is permanently mounted to the tower and the second is attached to the speakers. I cut a channel down the center of each and reinforced with an aluminum strip. The bolts have plenty of clearance in the center channel so the mounts just meet flush like a sandwich. I looked at polyethylene, aluminum, and galvanized to make the mounts but figured I'd try it with wood just to see if it would work (since wood is a lot cheaper if you screw it up). Since it's working I figured I'd stay with it for a while...
