I've seen the DUAL brand but have no experience with it. I'd assume since you're going with that brand that you like it--recommendations? What's your plan...you going to replace everything?

The lights are actually suspended in front of the cones and reflect off..I've seen one of these boxes, and the guy came back three weeks later saying the lights had gone out and the speakers blew... But that was a while ago..

the lights are little LED on the post and i have to find some speaker wire to run the lights thru the door to a 12V source. but i am looking at replaceing the rear speakers with the same things. and it sounds awsome withe the new speakers in..

They look great but keep your receipt I'v never seen a Dual brand sub last longer than 6 months. The Best Buy here had to stop carrying them.
