Do NOT buy SKAR Audio

All right, sucks that I have to be the one to do this, but I'm asking for anyone here who's been PERSONALLY affected by Skar to provide proof of said proceedings. The discussion a few of us are having elsewhere is kind of leading me to this. I would rather have solid ammunition to use in this fight than hearsay. I'm fine for trying to bring someone down if it's just and right, but if we're basing this all on he-said-she-said garbage, then I'll withdraw myself from the argument. I've seen the new bullet tweeters and don't have anything to say about them (not my wheelhouse to judge), so unless you have anything else other than "Kevin's a creeper," it's not gonna help me out. Suffice to say, I'm apparently playing internet lawyer on this one and need something I can show the jury.
people who have been personally affected HAVE popped up. If not in this thread, than in the many others before it. It's hard to keep track of everything because at one point a bunch of these threads were either locked or deleted.

 
I want to be fair about this a bit.
If you look at pro audio speakers that are sold as mobile audio there is a wide range of companies that use the exact(no difference) speakers/tweeters. Everyone from cheap companies to expensive companies. Just takes a bit of looking to figure it all out. So that part is not limited to Skar at all.
Yeah, my point was to prove that there were cheaper options and that theres nothing special about these. Tis all

Yeah, that's my concern. The thread West tried starting on DIYMA got shitcanned due to lack of empirical evidence so I was trying to help out. I figure Ill try assembling something more concrete and present it to them next time. To be honest, they're fair but stern and have no capacity for bullshit

in at least two of the original threads we had going, people who skar had either sent b stock to or scammed (that guy who won the contest but never received his crap) piped up but I can't seem to find the posts. If i do i'll let you know. The threads may have been deleted at this point, i'm really not sure

I appreciate it. A lot of those guys have a firm hand in the industry. Harmon/JBL's Andy Weyermeyer (or something like that) for example. If we can get them to understand what's going on, I'm sure things will work themselves out in no time.

 
The thing about Diyma is that they are mainly SQ guys, and most of them have never heard of SKAR because this tool is all about how loud you can get. SKAR wasn't even mentioned until you guys came over and started the thread.

We broached that argument and it was deemed invalid. They're not just SQ guys, they're also business owners and members of the community outside of the forum. I'm still kinda shocked that the thread got canned so quickly. I think some of the vets were sabotaging it with their jorts pictures.

Out from left field! Chances are you won't see one because there's an extremely large component of people who use Sundown as well as an owner of the company who actively answers questions and concerns whereas Kevin seems more like a ghost with the same recycled answers that just beat around the bush.

 
And I'm not nuthugging Sundown, mind you. The topic of such a thread was brought up on BnR's thread about it (trust me, I know what you're referring to). Even he mentioned this was an isolated case and was working on the issue with Jacob personally, just wanted others to be aware of his experience.

Can you really blame Kevin for not being more active here? He can't even post about his own product in his own forum without getting **** on. He's already lost it seems. I am very surprised he still pays for a vendor section here.

After some of the stuff we've pulled, of course not. Obviously there's a reason people are so adamant about the issue as I don't really see it as trying to be "one of the cool kids." The sad truth is Kevin would get a lot more respect if he was more active here and could speak intelligibly about his product.

I get the impression he really doesn't know a whole lot about his own product and that's extremely disappointing to me. It's very obvious he doesn't analyze the rest of the market with regard to pricing or his OFC pre-order would have had a much better turnout (and would've been priced to be competitive with Knu and AT rather than Monster). It's this reason more than anything else I can't bring myself to even remotely consider his products.

I can't say I disagree with you here. It is pretty apparent that he isn't as well versed in his own product as other people are which is sad considering it is his company. If it's me at the helm I would know my own product inside and out.

My point exactly. I plan to be in the CA business when I retire, but not necessarily in owning a manufacture. I have a good deal of sales experience recruiting however, and the #1 rule is to not only know your product, but know all of your competitors' products. You know they'll be studying the ins and outs of yours.

Just look at the posted frequency specs of his new bullet tweeters. Even the guys at SMD are raising the BS flag on that one.
