Looks like ONE speaker only:

Baseplate also looks cracked.

Just curious if anyone can identify the model.

Florian's should look so good! Ha!

What can I say? Epoxy binds the magnets to the midrange frames. If the impact deceleration caused the magnets to break loose, the mids must be replaced, rather pricey.

Should I have an acquaintance in Phoenix check em out? I don't think it's worth it.

Is it an rm30? It looks like it, but I think someone pushed it down a flight of stairs. It might be worth it to buy it just to see if the drivers are still ok iof the price was cheap enough. I am sure someone could come up with a project to use them.

This is salvage from UPS. Speaker does not work and we won't fix it.

I can't believe anyone would even think of buying this. Maybe the parts could be worth something. Now I know why VMPS uses BAX Global for shipping and not UPS!

Buy at your own risk

That's from UPS, oh my GOD. The drivers might be worth something to someone, but other than that...wow!

It's going to cost more than the starting bid price of 99 cents to ship them to your home then drive them to the junk yard then pay the gate fee.
