Ryan private messaged me off the forum VWvortex.com. I have copies of all exchanged conversations. I bought speakers off him and he stated they were in perfect working order.

He stated they were in working order and nothing was wrong with them. Direct quote from our conversation "Correct they are in perfect condition." It took him three whole weeks to send the item(after many excuses) and when it finally arrived the speakers were shoved in a tiny USPS box with absolutely no padding or protection. The speakers were obviously sent damaged and unusable before he sent them out because there was no foam around the speaker and the shell of the speaker. The speakers foam is completely dry rotted as well. Beware of Scammer

Thanks for the advice, it's at the shop now so i'm waiting to hear what they tell me
