There's no lettering on the front, just a "Nike Swoop" and a rectangle, could be a "D" or something else. I've never seen a pic of one like this.

Odd. Is that embossed/engraved as an outline, or is the entire area within the swoop and rectangle excavated?

It does look vaguely familiar. I wonder if that might be an early Daystar logo. Have you checked the innards for upgrade hardware?

Nice sub :D
I checked it more closely with an 8x Slide Magnifier and ran my fingers over it, it's definitely a "cattle branding" process, probably done by Daystar when they did the second upgrade (the first being the Plus upgrade) for the "Acceleration Junkie" original owner. The edges are raised a bit and you can see the remains of the case's surface treatment and a few bubbles in the crevasses. A piccie of the third upgrade to be posted momentarily! [:D] ]'>

The Sub's back at the thrift shop, all the controls must have been on the front pair of speakers, including a power on relay! That's surely the reason for the DIN-8 connectors for the front speakers. The owner will be in tomorrow, I offered $10 for it, I'm SURE I can hotwire it as a powered sub for my Thrift Sourced 5.1 Backup Receiver, but I'll have to take store credit for the balance of the $ . . . =8-/

Their DUMB@$$ return policy would have them holding my $ and me waiting for a "Like Item" to magically appear.
