THEY SUCK!

What's so bad about them?
They probably would sound great on your sounddesign gear. I'd go get em.

I had some. They were pretty awful. An eight-inch woofer and a 1-inch tweeter with the grill "foam" haphazardly glued all over the front; even dripped all over the woofer!
I sent them down the pipeline.

These don't have a foam grille but a cloth gille that is formed/gleed in place didnt inspect to see how may drivers there were I wont be getting them.. I guess I'll be looking elsewhere for large speakers... :yes:

I have a soundesign stereo with turntable with One Way Floorstanding speakers that contain only a "5" fullrange driver.but theyre good at waht they do! making clean clear and somewhat bassy sound for speakers their size (I love old stereo's)and vintage sperakers I wish I had a Pair of Panasonic thrusters,or a pair of nice old 3-way speakers.
It's a comment he made on youtube.

I just gotta know why you would know about that video :tears:
Haven't heard that song in a long time, and after hearing that kinda distortion, wished I wouldn't have.. . I used to really like it...
I guess my video would be pretty boring.. no matter how far I push the volume, ya just can't see my cones moving...

Centrex was Pioneer's "budget" brand, designed for low-price retailers like K-Mart, Sears, etc. I've heard them and thought they were awful, but I guess if you wanted something expendable for a garage, sunroom or other speaker-destroying environment you might find a use for them.
I just googled 'panasonic thrusters' too, I've never seen them before but they break one of the 'golden rules of buying speakers';
1. Never buy speakers that have wires already attached.
2. Never buy speakers with cone tweeters.
3. Never buy speakers with silver mylar dustcaps or plastic trim-rings.
4. Never buy speakers with non-removable grilles.
5. Never buy heavily discounted speakers from a white van.
