It would be a big mistake to assume by appearances that the speaker in the pic is the same quality as the premiums in the store.
You can't tell from that image what the voice coil looks like, what kind of magnet was used, what kind of impedance it has, or grade the diaphragm stiffness/movement. If he says it's a POS, it's probably a POS.
Most people around here prefer to replace stock speakers with Tim's premiums anyway. Just a quality control thing.
