Re: [DML] replacing the front speakers - (GOODNESS I NEED TO VENT!)



Did you read Jordan's HowTo before you started to bother you with the nuts

By the way - I really would be interested to compare your front Pioneers
with the original Craig.

I found that the Craigs sound better than the 2-way 50 Watt speakers I
bought recently.
