Noticed they mentioned stereo but how do you get stereo with only one tweeter....or is that a bass port?
Saw this and I am confused

Well I appreciate the feedback guys. Knowing that is a tweeter, I can't see how it could produce stereo "correctly". I guess the bottom woofers could be stereo while the highs are mono? I don't see how that would work but I guess you could design it that way.
I would've asked directly on FB but in the past my questions seem to go unanswered and never make it onto the page. But if you post, "Can't wait to get mine" it pops up right away.
Don't get me wrong, I can certainly understand filtering negative comments on the page but I don't think asking about stereo should be a red flag for removal and/or dismissal. It seems to me to be a legit question just as asking about price. But to me dodging the question is actually an indirect answer

That's so true. I love my DJ Tech. It picks up as well as my older boomers. I keep saying it over and over but I am so glad to have jumped on the opportunity to get one while they lasted. After the battery and charger mod I did, it makes it legendary.Reli said:

Your DJ Techs have good FM reception? Mine is mediocre at best. I thought I remember others saying theirs were lackluster in that area.

Think about it this way, there's tons of boxes with 5 speakers, like the Magnavox D8443, so there's nothing wrong with a 3-speaker box either. The speaker in the middle is simply going to be "mono" while the other speakers are stereo.Transistorized said:
Open it up and look for the antenna wire. Experiment with how it's routed. Maybe lengthen it. I think it's behind the right woofer.trippy1313 said:
Actually, it’s totally stupid if it’s the case, that the woofers are stereo and the center speaker is a tweeter. That would be asss backwards. The reason is this: low frequencies are pretty much omnidirectional, or certainly less directional than high frequencies. That’s why subwoofers generally are just a single box that can be placed anywhere nearby in a home system & in the center of a Boombox (still appropriate). But tweeters are highly directional which is why they are placed as far apart as possible and gives you the spatial effect of stereo. A single tweet in the freakin middle, are you freakin kidding me? Why cheap out like that? How much more could another single tweet costs? No room? Fark, install it coaxial style then. Anyhow, seems again like a chef by day, brake mechanic at night. Or at the very minimum, a company completely unclear on the concept.

I'm glad to see that I am not alone. My feelings were exact with Norm. I've seen plenty of odd speaker stereo designs but it was/has always been with the woofer being centered or singled. Clarity and detail has always rested with the highs and that was where your channel separation was. I'm not an engineer but I've owned enough radios in my time to know that a single tweeter was...well....just backwards. Put one woofer and two tweeters and I wouldn't have questioned it at all. I was giving the box the benefit of the doubt by thinking (hoping) that was a bass port..lol
I really think they would sell a bunch of units if they would just make the darn things stereo. Geezers what's so hard about that? How much more could it really cost the consumer? Another 80 bucks for a good tuner and true stereo? Hey sounds good to me. Don't get me wrong. I understand the emphasis of outdoor power but they are now making references to the box being stereo and I think we can all agree....not with that speaker arrangement. Not correctly anyhow.
What really gets me is the emphasis they now put by mentioning stereo and the folks that know are looking at the speaker arrangement and are scratching their heads. However, to be honest, they mentioned the AMP was stereo...not that the radio actually plays in stereo.
It just smells off and so I think I will pass. I like the size though. I want a true stereo box with a good tuner. When they do this I may get one

It IS a stereo box. It's just not configured to our tastes.
They probably started off intending to make it a mono box, but after receiving so many complaints about stereo, decided to add a stereo amp at the last minute. And at that point it was too late to change the speaker arrangement.
