I should point out with the back closed and the 2 baffles painted black, there is no visible indication that there isnt 4 speakers. Additionally the grill cloth looks much nicer then it appears and the frame is not visible normally. What your seeing is the byproduct of the flash. Im going to try again to get better pictures.
