If you have a classic, there is one in the for sale section, or give chocolate o brian a pm, it's his, i think he lasted about a month, but he's a dj in his spare time so is probably a bit mutton already, think he lost a bit more of his hearing range while he had it fitted, and by the sound of some of the tunes he's made his hearing aid is on the blink too

Will still fit..
Rear hanger on the box will be the wrong way round but can easily be turned around, or even run without it.

I'd say they're louder than a Nur Spec, mine certainly seemed to be... different sort of sound though, the race tube is quite trebbly where the Nur Spec is mostly bass.


It got a bit tiresome on long journeys.
