    Fake AXA25/35 Knockoff on Amazon?

    I received a completely fake item, nothing even resembling a real amplifier (I received a small wrapped box 4-5 inches across, seemed empty since it was like a couple of ounces, I didn't even open it). Description apparently taken from AXA35/25 product from the well known British Amp Provider...
