Default Aquatic speakers?

Does anybody know anything about these?

http://www.aquaticav.com/where-to-bu...aq-spk6-5-4hb/

A bit pricey and no lifetime warranty, but between the conversation of BT coming out with a weatherproof HU and these, the "plug and play" market is getting interesting. Aquatic does not offer an amp yet, do they?

First I've heard of their speakers. I noticed right away they don't offer the sensitivity rating for those, that's a red flag for me. IMO, the market might be pretty tough right now for a $450 set of speakers that need to compete with existing brands and proven performers.

I've seen several complaints over on the FB groups about their HU's failing and trouble getting warranty replacements taken care of. Just to be clear, I don't own any Aquatic equipment at all.

at $450 i doubt they can compete with comparably priced, proven speakers on the market
