I have scored pretty good at the local pawn shop in the past. When u see wires cut instead of disconn properly, it probably was "borrowed and sold w/o permission". But I guess thats how they can sellu a nice deck for $40. I'm gonna go back to that junkyard tho and pick up the rear bose speakers just so its all balanced, the front ones still sound much better even tho its not a full "bose" system
