ty for all your help

Answer 1

Your friend got taken in a scam that has been going on for decades.  Go to wikipedia and type in "White van speaker" in it's search engine and you will see that Divinci speakers are prominent in this scam.

The speakers normally have no crossover, run at 2 ohms or less (which will destroy your receiver or amp if plugged in.  These speakers are very dangerous to use at all because they will destroy your gear.

The first clue is the fact that these were sold out of a van, these scammers get your money and then are gone with your money and no way to get that money back.  Even their website is a scam along with the "ads" they say are in prominent magazine.  The magazines are fake, the ads are fake and they will tell you they set up a booth at CES (Consumer Electronics Show), that is true, what they fail to say is that the booth was outside the CES show and they were basically mocked and ridiculed for having the cajones to even show up.

Your buddy should toss the speakers in the trash and realize he just got taken.  Davinci is also sold alot on ebay also (normally for 200.00) or less by naive buyers, and those buyers also have no way of getting their money back.  Paypal will not honor Divinci brand speakers on their insurance program.

Answer 2

Sorry for your friend.  Davinci speakers are a scam and only worth about $50.  They usually try to sell them by saying they are extra speakers from a theater install and they need to sell them fast.  The speakers are poorly built and can cause your amp to overheat or short out.  Read a little bit from the second link for more info.

Answer 3

Don't buy stuff out of vans.. bad idea.  They use cheap parts and labor to produce the speakers
