I just read somewhere that someone bought fatsacks from Costco as well. Skylon made but under a different name. Weird-wacky stuff !

Thats amazing, and lightning accessories is badass stuff too, arc audio, I sold their stuff for about 2 years, its sick.

Has anyone else Heard these speakers? If so how do they sound? They seem pricy for costco.

$450 per speaker seems like a lot for costco.

Does not seem like a good value.

For less you can get a pair of wetsounds Pro 80's that would blow the panties off of those speakers.

I can tell you that these are some of the best speakers on the market, ARC AUDIO is a competition line car speaker, it has an aluminum cone, these speakers are clear as day! I carry different products, if I could sell these I would, but im pissed that their at Costco. Lightning accessories is the only marine stereo manufacturer that is allowed to deal with arc audio. The only reason I wouldnt go with it is because they sold to costco.

I would not hesitate putting ARc in my boat as they are TOP of the line in car audio.

yes that is alittle pricey though

My friend has 4 of the same speakers in the same lightning cans...
ARC makes sweet AMPs/SUBs but I don't really like the sound of those 6 1/2s. My clarions blow them out of the water!

(no offense friend

I don't care how good they are, no 6.5 speaker is worth 450 each.

I haven't shopped for sacks for a while, but it seems like a good deal.

arc audio does make very good products, but you can do better for $900 a pair (nvs)..

yep...you can get one 1010 for about that.

One thing to think about.... Costco has the life time warranty. You blow them, just return them for new ones (or get your money back). You can even buy the stuff from their Website and return them to the nearest store.

caddywampin, that is $449 a PAIR. That is Lightning's low end speakers but they still sound great.

(unclesam) · (unclesam) **Join Date: Nov 2005** 09-08-2006, 3:22 PM

and just think with costcos return policy when you got a new boat you could pull them off and return them.

Alex,

Are you sure? I think that it clearly states speaker with no S. The pic only shows one as well.

(yosquire) · (yosquire) **Join Date: Jun 2005** 09-08-2006, 4:55 PM

does look like $449 each.

that's a lot.

(ktmwakeboarder)

That is really weird and possibly misleading. I can't imagine they actually mean that price for one speaker. My guess is its for a pair, but doesn't make it clear. Bad marketing on their part. Anyone wanna just order a pair and then return them? I have heard that Costco has an amazing return policy, could you return them years later and blown, and get your money back?? This is actually tempting... I do want some forward facing speakers

Costco doesnt sell anything as 1. They prolly come in bulk of like 8

(greatdane) · (greatdane) **Join Date: Feb 2001** 09-08-2006, 11:25 PM

Two for $449 is a totally different story.

(882001) · (882001) **Join Date: Nov 2003** 09-09-2006, 11:20 AM

who buys 1 tower speaker? its worded as one but i agree if you get two thats a pretty good price.

(bensk8in) · (bensk8in) **Join Date: Feb 2006** 09-09-2006, 1:56 PM

Come on guys, speakers are sold in pairs unless its a woofer, 449 for a pair of singles end of story.

(greatdane) · (greatdane) **Join Date: Feb 2001** 09-09-2006, 3:38 PM

The website sure never indicates a pair. Nothing is plural and no mention of a pair.

(bensk8in) · (bensk8in) **Join Date: Feb 2006** 09-09-2006, 4:32 PM

I assure you that tower speakers are sold as pairs. So we can agree to disagree, or you can just go to Costco and find out for yourselves.

www.lightningaccessories.com -on their page it also says single coaxial, but who sells one tower speaker, no one.

I sold these products for over 2 years, "Tower speakers are sold in pairs" So the guy who makes the website doesnt know anything about tower speakers, no surprise, call lightning and ask them. And of course its a good price, its costco. They are selling these things for what dealers pay. Well im done debating and im sure your all happy about that.
