"Excuse me, stewardess.  I speak jive."

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

OK, I was being sarcastic.  This sounds like they were designed by the marketing dept.  Foam surrounds generally don't hold up well under hard use, that's why virtually every quality speaker design uses butyl rubber or even cloth.  It's more expensive, but they last.  A large magnet is indicative of how much power they're built to handle, not sound quality.  Magnets don't cost much.  Bottom line, it's much cheaper to make a speaker look like it's quality than to make one that really is quality.  The fact that it comes in a crate is just silly.

On the other hand, if you're looking for a SPL speaker that only lasts a year or less ('cos you'll blow them up) and SQ ain't important to you, this could be the one.  Put it in a bandpass box wit yo neons, yo.  Dey's gonna hear you coming from 10 blocks down in da hood.  Hell, mount it in the crate it came in.

Personally, anything that's 2 for 1 at BestBuy raises a red flag for me...
