sandy ,i paid $275cdn for mine which seemed like alot of money to me at the time but now i realize that i actually did good.i'm currently waiting for the matching speaker to arrive that i bought on that famous site we all love so much.goodluck with the broadcast coils for the 50t1 they are rare and when they do show up command a outrageous price.i have a older hro m sitting here that works great but i sure'd like to get a 50t1 someday myself.
