Well, one of the crossovers has a fancy switchy thingy on it.

And the basket.

Whenever I see speakers I compare them to phd and although that is a pretty unfair comparison, those crossovers look like they should cost about 10-15 bucks...for the pair.

They probably do..id say one or both of those sets should be around 99 bucks

Meso motors are a bit larger, cast basket and cone material is lighter. I haven't gotten the TS numbers on them yet but I plan to as soon as I have the opportunity. Also, the tweets for the Meso set are a bit sturdier.

please explain why these particular crossovers are bad. I don't know much about them.

Power handling means almost nothing, it's all about efficiency.
Are there any 1w/1m SPL specs for the woofers and tweeters independently?

I'm sorry, I somehow missed this comment. I don't have specs but I do have a DATS and will pull TS numbers asap. And I agree, power handling is only a small part of the picture.

What happened to the amp you had?

When did all the hatred of CT start? Until recently it was only Sundown nuthuggers trashing it, but they trash everything but Sundown, so I wrote it off. It's since expanded to others. What am I missing? There is nobody on the middle, just lovers and haters. Sorry to threadjack, but I'm very curious.

Long story short the cheap parts really showed themselves when the amp couldn't handle things such as wiring removal.

That's a pretty vague answer don't you think? After all, you left a pretty scathing remark about the entire company based upon one experience with one product. I would think you could at least explain what happened.

Man am I happy I did NOT buy the CT crap when I was looking at big amps. I am very very happy a good friend of mine gave me a heads up about how shoddy of a product these would have been.

Those crossovers look like a child built them... Oh wait, one did.
