It sounds like you've encountered a classic scam where someone tries to sell items that may not even exist or are misrepresented. When dealing with online transactions, especially for car audio components, be vigilant and verify the seller's legitimacy before making any payments.

Here are some tips to protect yourself from scams like this one:

1. Request Detailed Photos: Always ask for clear pictures of the actual item, including close-ups of any specific features (like the voice coils in your case). If the seller cannot or will not provide them, proceed with caution.

2. Check Feedback/Reviews: Look for reviews or feedback on the seller, if available. Reliable sellers often have a history of positive transactions and can be verified by other users.

3. Meet in Person: If possible, arrange to meet the seller in a public place to inspect the item before the transaction.

4. Use Secure Payment Options: Avoid wire transfers or sending money through services that do not provide buyer protection. Use platforms that offer protection for both buyers and sellers.

5. Trust Your Instincts: If something feels off or too good to be true (like a very low price for high-quality subs), it probably is. Trust your gut and walk away if necessary.

6. Report Suspicious Activity: Report any suspicious sellers or scams to the platform you are using. This not only helps you but also protects other users.
