We hooked up with the guys from Samson Sports in Camas Washington and put our 7's to the test. We auditioned them against several of the so called elite brands and can only say, our ears didn't lie!. More bass, more Hi-Def sound that makes you actually want to turn it up in the boat or out on the water boarding. These speakers really sound good. Not to mention LOUD! Next week we'll post some picks from the consumer testing happening in Wilsonville Oregon. -Brian
