Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Rockford Fosgate Prime R152 by Buck Pomerantz Why replace your car's original speakers? The speakers that originally came in your car were made from inexpensive materials, designed to create acceptable sound at the lowest possible cost to the manufacturer. If you love music, you deserve better. Name-brand aftermarket speakers deliver fuller, richer sound with considerably more detail and nuance, and they're capable of playing louder and cleaner than factory speakers. Connect new speakers to your factory radio and you'll get the best possible sound from your dealer-equipped system. Pair them up with a new car stereo for a level of enjoyment that can rival a high-fidelity home audio experience. Put Rockford Fosgate sound in your car without breaking the bank. Whether you're building your first system or replacing some burned-out factory speakers, Prime speakers offer clean, powerful performance that'll keep you and your friends entertained as you drive. The Prime R152 5-1/4" speakers sport stiff mica-injected polypropylene woofer cones that deliver strong drums and bass, along with clean reproduction of the midrange frequencies. Mylar tweeters top things off with vibrant highs that add excitement to your music without a trace of harshness. Built-in crossover networks ensure a smooth audio response, so all your music plays faithfully.

Written By Chris, Utah on Thursday, August 30, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Figuring to myself. "You don't know what you are doing. This is going to be hard as hell." Honestly. The hardest part about the whole setting up of these speakers was taking the door off. I did have to drill some new holes for the screws to go into, but that was easy. The wire brackets the speakers came with hooked right into my '92 Ranger. The speakers sound so much better then my stock speakers. I am half deft but the speakers still sound great! Next is a sub woofer! Pros: Easy to put in. Great sound. Cons: Hard to put in if your truck is a pig sty like my was lol. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great highs Written By Stan, Erie pa on Sunday, August 19, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I order these speakers to replace my old ones in my single can truck they are half the size and power of my prior speakers and my highs sound so much better than the older speakers I just replaced great speakers !!!!!! Cons: None Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Awesome clarity from these Written By TRossE, Ward , AR on Tuesday, July 31, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I wanted to replace the stock speakers in my new to me 06 Ford Expedition. I signed into Crutchfield.com and pulled up my vehicle on their "what fits my vehicle" system ( Crutchfield makes it so easy). I had some experience with Rockford Fosgate in the past so I read all the reviews on these speakers and liked what I saw. These speakers were so easy to install with the Master Sheet ,Wiring harness and location adapters Crutchfield provided for free. These speakers sound awesome in my Expedition , I listen to multiple genres of music ( old school Rap and R&B , Rock , Country , New Wave , Classic Rock ) everything sounds great. The clarity of these speakers blew my mind. Pros: Clarity 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 very nice, clear and crisp upper highs Written By 35dprace, Alabama on Sunday, May 13, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I replaced the factory speakers in bottom of the doors of my 350 z along with tweeters in the top section. I have Fosgate 6" mid range in the back and a 10" powered sub all pushed by a Clarion 80 watt head unit. The sound is AWSOME ! These speakers make the perfect "filler " for the gap between mid-range and tweeters. Vocals are clear and crisp. VERY HAPPY !. Pros: great upper mid range sound Cons: not a good choice for a primary speaker ....not meant to be :-) Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Rockford Fosgate Prime R152 Written By Chad, Hanford, CA on Sunday, June 27, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Speakers sound great ! Made my system so clean and clear. Great product. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 I Agree Written By Evangelist, Albuquerque on Saturday, April 03, 2010 I agree with the most recent reviews. These speakers were not designed for bass response. Rockford Fosgate has plenty other items for that. I purchased these for a small Mitsubishi Mirage i had purchased. The original owner of the car put Infinity Kappa speakers in the doors and no after market stereo or amp. Needless to say the Kappas perished. So i decided to replace with these speakers and they did what i expected them to do. 9 out of 9 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Nice Speakers Written By cbyrnside, Augusta, GA on Tuesday, March 30, 2010 These speakers sound fine. No, they don't put out much bass, but that isn't what they are designed to do. If these are going to be the largest, or only set of speakers in your car then you aren't going to have much bass anyway. I actually bought these speakers a while back to use in another car, but nobody had the correct mounting brackets in stock so I bought a set of 6.5 inch Infinity's that didn't need a bracket, and these sat on a shelf brand new in the box for a while. I finally put them in my current daily driver to replace OEM speakers in the doors that had completely decomposed after 12 GA summers. I installed these and a set of Alpine 6X9's, driven by a Pioneer head unit that I put in a couple of years ago. The stereo in the car sounds great, I really couldn't be happier. These aren't audiophile grade speakers, but they are better than any factory speakers I have heard, including the Infinity speakers in my wife's Caravan, or my LHS. Paired with a decent head unit and good rear speakers, you will have a stereo that sounds great with a variety of music. 4 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Rockford Fosgate Prime R152 Written By Scottie, ohio on Monday, November 16, 2009 anyone who bought these speakers for the bass is off the mark. if you want bass buy a sub not component speakers. replace the factory speakers with these and add a nice 12" sub or a couple 10s and you will have the bass you want. 10 out of 10 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Great value (2005 Ram 1500 Reg Cab Rumblebee) Written By Tony, Fayetteville, NC on Wednesday, April 08, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Fit was a bit a a problem and the master sheet left out the fact that the rear cab liner needed to be removed to facilitate removal and installation. DONT buy theese speakers for the bass. Theese worked great for the regular cab Ram 1500 for the lack of high's in the rear of the cab by the OEM speakers leaving a empty spot in the sound stage. The prime's filled in the empty spot with birght highs and rich mid's that were missing from the existing OEM's. Great replacement speaker for this application. Mounting the speakers was tricky as you have to drill new holes for the mount and only 3 of the mounts can be used as the speaker is not large enough to fill in the hole of the cut-out of the cab. I found myself drilling on an angle on both sides when I got to the 3rd hole because of a lack of proper fit, and about a 1/8" gap will be on the rear side of the speaker once it's mounted. As stated before, these speakers did NOT produce any bass for the rear of the cab at all and if your looking for that then dont buy theese speakers. 19 out of 20 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Written By Richard, Dallas PA on Friday, March 27, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought these speakers to go with a new stereo that i bought for my car. Notice my title "No Range". I installed one of the speakers in my car and then tried it out. they had zero base and are all treble. The truth is that the factory speakers in my basic 2000 Ford Focus are better sounding then these Rockford Fosgates. I am sending them back for a refund, in which Crutchfield has been helpful so far. 13 out of 32 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

First I noticed the search settings are un-alterable:
And if I try to get to it through other links, or even just try to click "help", it shows this:
Now I noticed any image I click on from image search will not show up...it's just a blank page...
Anyone having similar issues? The unrendered help page makes me think it's an issue with the site, but any ideas on how this might be an issue on my end?
I'm using IE and I can't even get google to show up. Firefox works fine with it though.
I'm also using IE and Google is flaking out on me. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Well, I use FireFox and I don't have any problems of major concern.
I don't see this as market failure, it's Google's way of kicking people off IE and towards Chrome. Why not make your widely used product/service unworkable on the other guy's platforms to where you have to use theirs?
Bert:Why not make your widely used product/service unworkable on the other guy's platforms to where you have to use theirs?
Because it pisses people off, and there are other options for search engines. Not to mention, there are ways around any screwy blocking technique they'd try to use. Apple tried to make their widely used phone "unworkable" with applications they don't approve...that hasn't exactly worked out so well.
There is nothing more powerful than the market. If the people want it, they're going to get it.
My issue was a buggy piece of software I had installed. The issue appeared soon after I had installed it, and disappeared after I reformatted.

A few nights ago, I read my three kids a bedtime story about a missionary who spent 30 years of his life serving in Nepal. I realized it wasn't much of a lull-them-to-sleep story, though, as I fielded excited questions and enthusiastic interest.
How will God use my children to build His kingdom? I wondered. Will they serve Him overseas, immersed in a foreign culture? Will they remain in North America, shining as lights in a secular workplace? Whatever their futures hold, how can I help mold them into world changers?
As I pondered the latter question, one thought came swift and clear: Teach them to think beyond themselves and their own needs. World changers, like the storyteller, follow Christ's example through service. They practice kindness and are willing to sacrifice convenience and comfort for another's sake.
I soon discovered that countless service opportunities surrounded our family, albeit on a simple scale:
Serving others helped our kids see beyond themselves. Still, we could do something more: pray for our children's spiritual well being.
Frankly, sometimes I felt like a parrot with a limited vocabulary: "Lord, please bless my kids." My sentiments seemed so generic.
Things improved when we began praying God's Word. Specific Scriptures addressed our concerns.
Because we wanted our children to exemplify Christ, Philippians 2:3-8 became a favorite prayer guide:
"God, teach our children to humbly consider others better than themselves. May they look not only to their own interests, but also to the interests of others."
We also asked the Lord to bless our kids, not necessarily with wealth or fame or an easy life, but that through them, His way would be known on Earth and His salvation among all nations (Psalm 67:1-2).
God honored our efforts and answered our prayers. More than a decade after that unforgettable bedtime story, our eldest boarded a ministry ship to participate in God's work around the world. As I write this, the ship sits in hurricane-devastated Grenada, its crew building shelters for the homeless.
The second, a Bible college sophomore, hopes to teach English overseas after graduation.
The third, now 18, spent three weeks teaching Bible clubs in Mexico last summer. She plans to return in July.
Raising world changers begins at home. From there, only God knows — and that's exciting!
Helping families thrive with the support of friends like you.
Jesus set the standard of selflessness for His disciples when He told them to be His "witnesses, in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth" (Acts 1:8). Such a command implies a life lived for others.
While it may be too early to burden young children with such a weighty imperative, parents can teach them the beauty of Jesus' model.
God's Son challenged His followers to go back to the city of His crucifixion and be witnesses to His good news.
Children have difficulty comprehending the vastness of the world, so bring a little bit of the world home to them.
All it takes is one act of selflessness to open children's eyes to the joy of service. God can use the seeds you plant in their hearts to feed the souls of others — even to the ends of the earth.
As we fight traffic on the way home from school, my 7-year-old son, Dillon, and I often play the game "What would you rather do?" Usually the questions are similar to "Would you rather clean toilets with your toothbrush or scrape dead bugs off the windshield with your teeth?"
Like I said, he's 7.
One day he asked, "Mom, what would you rather do? Would you rather be a street person or dead?"
"What?" I asked.
"You know," he said casually as he looked out the window at our inner-city neighborhood. "If you had to choose, would you rather be dead or begging for money?"
His tone told me that he would rather choose death, and it troubled me.
Living where we do, our children have seen more drug addicts, alcoholics and mentally ill people than most kids their ages. City life has benefits, but it also has costs that involve explaining complicated issues.
I ignored his question and launched into my well-practiced spiel about how we give to shelters and churches that help the homeless. I explained that life always holds hope for the future, but death is permanent for our physical bodies.
He may have been satisfied with my words, but I wasn't.
Dillon said, "I guess we should count our blessings."
"Yeah," I agreed, but his words made me uncomfortable.
I know the importance of stopping to appreciate our loved ones, job, shelter, food, clothing and all the extras we don't really need. Yet, counting our blessings while passing a young meth addict holding a sign about her children and abusive husband seems selfish and arrogant. Should gratitude be thankfulness for another's misfortunes that we escaped?
I told my son, "I don't think it's enough to count our blessings and be thankful. Thankfulness should move us to action."
"What does that mean?" he asked as we passed another young woman on the street corner with a cardboard sign.
"Counting your blessings can be a selfish act. It doesn't help the people begging for spare change to buy food, get a job or feel cherished. To appreciate what we have is good, but more than that, we need to give back."
I glanced at him.
My son seemed to understand, but I still wrestled with what I had said. I thought about the good Samaritan. When he saw someone who needed help, he was spurred to action.
My family is re-examining what it means to be thankful this holiday season. I never want my children to count their blessings in lieu of reaching out. We decided it's not the season to gloat over our gifts and mumble a few grateful prayers.
As we look for ways to serve the people in our community, we intend to turn our gratitude into action and pass the hope we have been given in Christ to others.
She works part time at a diner, waiting tables. When her lunch shift is over, she picks up the kids at school. Today, her 10-year-old daughter has soccer practice. She and her 12-year-old son sit in the bleachers and talk while the girls practice.
Afterward, they rush home. She fixes dinner, with the kids helping out. Her husband comes home from his long commute. He's worn out, and he's worried about layoffs. He needs a break, she thinks, and so do I.
On Saturday, she stuffs envelopes for a pro-life rally, drops the kids off at her mother's, and finally she and her husband have an afternoon to themselves. When they pick up the kids that evening, her mother mentions her appointment with a specialist the next week. Her mom looks worried. I'd better take off work and go with her, she thinks.
Sunday morning she has coffee duty, so she leaves early for church. During the sermon about the love of Christ, she is filled with a desire to serve the Lord. But we are already so busy. Besides, how does God want me to serve Him?
She does not realize she has been serving Him. What she does for her kids, her husband, her mother, her church, her community and even her customers at the diner is serving her neighbor. And God has placed her in each of these roles.
One of the most profound and yet strangely neglected teachings of Christianity is the doctrine of vocation. The term is simply the Latin word for calling, and it has to do with God calling us into many different tasks and relationships, all of which become specific avenues for service.
Ephesians 4:16, says, "From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work," and Colossians 3:23-24 says, "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving."
Together these Scriptures say much about God's thoughts on work.
Martin Luther unpacked what the Bible says about how we are to live our Christian faith in our different callings.
He said, for example, that when we pray the Lord's Prayer and ask God to give us our daily bread, He does give us our daily bread. And He does it through the vocation of the farmer, who grew the grain; the miller, who ground it into flour; and the baker, who cooked the loaf.
We would add the factory workers who built the farmer's tractor, the bankers who lent him the money to buy the field, the truck drivers, the warehouse workers, the stock boy, the lady at the checkout counter and the person who prepared our meal.
When we sit down at the table, we return thanks to God, and, indeed, He is the one who provides for all of our needs. But God uses human beings to distribute His blessings.
To use another of Luther's examples, when God resolved to populate the earth, He could have just created as many people as He wanted from the dust, just as He created Adam. But instead, God chose to create new life — one of His most stupendous miracles — by means of mothers and fathers. God established the family, calling specific men and women into the vocation of marriage and then giving some of them the additional vocation of parent.
It is still God who creates and cares for children, but He does so through ordinary men and women.
We have callings in the family, the workplace, the church and the community. Even within these areas, our vocations are many — in the family, the same person may have a calling as a wife, mother and daughter.
In the workplace, a person exercises particular God-given talents. We have callings in our churches, whether we are pastors, choir members, committee members or have coffee duty. And since God has placed us in a particular society, our citizenship is also a vocation.
Luther rightly said that God does not need our good works but our neighbor does. Christ calls us to live our faith by loving and serving the people He brings into our lives, our neighbors (Matthew 22:34-40).
Not only that, but Christ also says He is present in our neighbor in need.
Jesus said, "Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did it for me" (Matthew 25:40).
So, when you feed the hungry, clothe the naked, care for the sick, visit prisoners and welcome strangers, you are serving Christ.
This can happen on the road to Jericho, as with the good Samaritan, or it can happen when we serve people at a homeless shelter or the local pregnancy resource center. It also happens every day in our various offices and businesses.
The purpose of every vocation, from God's perspective, is to love and serve others. No company could stay in business unless it turned out a product or a service that helped people in some way.
The Christian life is one of service — be it serving in an organized fashion or in quieter, day-to-day tasks and relationships, which God has called us to.
Jesus created us for relationship, and He knew that if we'd get in step with the way He wired us, we'd meet a God-given need inside us.
In Genesis 1:26, "God said, 'Let us make man in our image, in our likeness.' " As the Trinity — Father, Son and Holy Spirit — God is One, and He exists in complete unity. He is also a completely social being who enjoys an eternally perfect, loving and holy relationship between the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Because He made us like himself, we also hunger to know such a perfect relationship.
Today, many of us are so busy, competitive or distrusting that we often avoid relationships, at least on the deeper level God intended. To further the dilemma, our communication technology distances us from personal interaction.
Usually we have to schedule time to strengthen our relationships amid the busyness of our daily grind, and our transient culture means we may be thousands of miles from family and friends. It's often easier to fill our lives with music, movies, television and other entertainment, rather than take the time to develop and deepen relationships. Of course, these are just symptoms of the real problem.
When Adam and Eve fell, relationships — those between man and God as well as those between human beings — were broken by sin. Sin hinders relationships because sin is selfishness and drives us to fulfill our own desires instead of loving and serving others.
"An unfriendly man pursues selfish ends" (Proverbs 18:1).
Unfortunately, the world creates a relationship model that is "all about me." We often think of relationships in self-centered ways. What's in it for me? Why should I care?
God wants us to love, serve and care for others — unconditionally and completely — just as He did. When we do love, serve and care for others — spouse, children, parents, friends, family and strangers — we're fulfilling God's plan for relationship.
As the Trinity, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit work together in perfect harmony to show us that loving, serving and caring for each other is how a relationship works best. The Son is submitted to the Father, coming to earth and serving humankind by modeling a godly life and dying for our sins — the ultimate, unselfish act of love.
"Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God" (Ephesians 5:1-2).
The Holy Spirit is likewise submitted to the Father and the Son, making intercession for us, teaching us and guiding us.
Though our ability to love unselfishly runs dry all too quickly, we can always draw from God's love — love that Psalm 136 reminds us endures forever. We just have to learn to let His love flow through us, choosing to die to ourselves and to think of others first, every day, in our marriages, our families, our friendships and with our fellow man.
That looks like sharing the fruits of the Holy Spirit that He has instilled in us:
First John 3:18 says, "Let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth."
Actions do speak louder than words when it comes to relationships. From an earthly perspective, you may not receive back as much as you give — but loving, serving and caring for others in Christ's name and for His sake is God's plan for relationships.
Elizabeth forgot who we were every time we visited — something my daughter Sami often struggled to understand after each trip to the nursing home.
"Mom," she said once. "Why do we go to see her when she forgets us as soon as we leave? Isn't it like we weren't even there?"
"Well," I said, "it depends on how you look at it. She enjoys us when we're there, right?"
"She smiles big and tells you stories. In fact, every time she sees you, her eyes light up, even though she thinks she's meeting you for the first time." I struggled for a minute, trying to think of a way to explain it to a 6-year-old. I leaned over and rubbed her back. She curved it like a kitty cat, nearly purring with delight. "You like when I rub your back, right? Even if you couldn't remember it afterward, would you still want me to do it?"
"I wouldn't care if I forgot halfway through. I love when you rub my back."
"Well, that's why we love on Ms. Elizabeth. She likes it when we're there. And that's enough."
Sami thought for a minute. Then her face lit up. "Oh, I get it! It's right-now love! Like when you eat ice cream or watch a really funny cartoon. It may not last very long, but you love it while you have it." She smiled. "And that's enough."
She got it.
And that's enough.
Teaching children to love selflessly and with no expectation of reciprocation, cultivates others-centered adults and people who truly demonstrate Christ's love and sacrifice as Paul explains in Philippians 2.
So how can you as a parent practically instill Philippians 2 principles in your child?
Here are some ideas from other parents:
Our next-door neighbor Debbie asked, "Which of you has been bringing in our trash can?"
"Not me," I said.
I saw her husband, Frank, smile at our daughter. "You've been doing it, haven't you?"
Katelyn nodded sheepishly. I knew she retrieved our can from the curb when she got off the school bus but never imagined she'd done the same for our neighbors.
Later, tucking her in bed, I said, "That's really sweet that you're bringing the Jeldys' can from the curb."
"I remembered you doing it for that single mom when we were walking the dog," she said. "Plus, I've heard all the stories of how you and Dad started doing secret service things when you were in college."
I left her darkened room with a warm glow, determined to continue modeling secret acts of kindness.

When my 9-year-old son Andrew came home from school excited about the Thanksgiving food drive, I suggested, "Why don't you make a flyer asking the neighbors to help? You can tell them when you'll be by to collect, and maybe they can help you give to more people."
Andrew went from house to house, explaining the project and leaving a flyer as a reminder. Four days later, he set out with his red wagon to collect and came back loaded with food. From this, he learned how to let others in on serving and how to multiply his efforts.

During the holidays, my husband and I wanted our kids to know that Christmas was about giving. We purchased chips and salsa, packaged them in decorative bags and added cards that read, "This is a gift for your family to enjoy, from another family who loves you very much." Then, we chose four families who we thought could use a little demonstration of God's love. Our family then gave them the gifts anonymously.

Q:Which bubble bars are good matches to the Sex Bomb? I would like something sexy, but not overwhelming. Thanks :)Asked on 8/7/2013 by Anina
2 answers
A:Personally, I always like using bath bombs one at a time so you can really highlight the scents and colors. But if I had to choose one I would probably go with Rose Jam. Rose Jam has this amazing but not too strong rose scent that I think would pair with the jasmine in Sex Bomb really well. It's also very moisturizing. Plus - rose is a sexy scent that would match the appeal of Sex Bomb!Answered on 1/27/2014 by Isobel the LUSHie from Chicago, IL
A:Honestly, we're purists! We don't usually pair Sex Bomb with anything else; however, Two Timing Tart is often considered the best option. It would create some fun zesty bubble to add to an already LUSH bath!Answered on 8/14/2013 by Anonymous

Please #investaware. Investments of this nature carry risks to your capital as well as potential rewards. Please read our risk warning and disclaimer before deciding to invest.
Investing in start-ups and early stage businesses involves risks, including illiquidity, lack of dividends, loss of investment and dilution, and it should be done only as part of a diversified portfolio. Crowdcube is targeted exclusively at investors who are sufficiently sophisticated to understand these risks and make their own investment decisions. You will only be able to invest via Crowdcube once you are registered as sufficiently sophisticated.
Please click here to read the full Risk Warning.
This page is communicated by Crowdcube Capital Limited and has been approved as a financial promotion by Crowdcube Ventures Limited, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Pitches for investment are not offers to the public and investments can only be made by members of crowdcube.com on the basis of information provided in the pitches by the companies concerned. Crowdcube takes no responsibility for this information or for any recommendations or opinions made by the companies.
To help you understand the risks involved when investing in shares and mini-bonds on Crowdcube, please read the following risk summary. Please #investaware and diversify your investments.
The need for diversification when you invest
Diversification involves spreading your money across multiple investments to reduce risk. However, it will not lessen all types of risk. Diversification is an essential part of investing. Investors should only invest a proportion of their available investment funds via Crowdcube and should balance this with safer, more liquid investments.
Risks when investing in equity
Investing in shares (also known as equity) on Crowdcube does not involve a regular return on your investment unlike mini-bonds which offer interest paid regularly. Please bear in mind the following particular risks for equity investments:
Loss of investment
The majority of start-up businesses fail or do not scale as planned and therefore investing in these businesses may involve significant risk. It is likely that you may lose all, or part, of your investment. You should only invest an amount that you are willing to lose and should build a diversified portfolio to spread risk and increase the chance of an overall return on your investment capital. If a business you invest in fails, neither the company – nor Crowdcube – will pay you back your investment.
Lack of liquidity
Liquidity is the ease with which you can sell your shares after you have purchased them. Buying shares in businesses pitching through Crowdcube cannot be sold easily and they are unlikely to be listed on a secondary trading market, such as AIM, Plus or the London Stock Exchange. Even successful companies rarely list shares on such an exchange. In addition, if you purchase B Investment Shares, these are non-voting shares and may not be attractive to potential buyers.
Rarity of dividends
Dividends are payments made by a business to its shareholders from the company's profits. Most of the companies pitching for equity on the Crowdcube website are start-ups or early stage companies, and these companies will rarely pay dividends to their investors. This means that you are unlikely to see a return on your investment until you are able to sell your shares. Profits are typically re-invested into the business to fuel growth and build shareholder value. Businesses have no obligation to pay shareholder dividends.
Any investment in shares made through Crowdcube may be subject to dilution in the future. Dilution occurs when a company issues more shares. Dilution affects every existing shareholder who does not buy any of the new shares being issued. As a result an existing shareholder's proportionate shareholding of the company is reduced, or 'diluted'-this has an effect on a number of things, including voting, dividends and value.
Some businesses who pitch for equity investment through Crowdcube offer A-Ordinary Shares, which may include pre-emption rights that protect an investor from dilution. In this situation the business must give shareholders with A-Ordinary Shares the opportunity to buy additional shares during a subsequent fundraising round so that they can maintain or preserve their shareholding. Please check a pitch, and the Articles of the company to see if the shares you are buying will have these pre-emption rights. Most companies do not offer pre-emption rights for B Investment Shares.
Risks when investing in Mini-bonds
Mini-bonds are a very different kind of investment to equity and you do not own a stake in the business issuing the mini-bond. Instead you receive regular interest payments from the company and then your initial investment back at the end of the mini-bonds term. Before investing, you must read and agree to the Invitation Document for each mini-bond as these contain the exact terms and conditions, including the interest payments and final repayment time. It is important to understand that companies issuing mini-bonds ('the Issuers') are solely responsible for their financial status and consequently their ability to pay interest and return investors' capital when the mini-bonds mature. Crowdcube does not issue the mini-bonds listed on the Crowdcube platform and is not responsible for their performance.
Loss of investment and interest payments
Companies issuing mini-bonds, like all businesses, are vulnerable to financial difficultly and investing in mini-bonds may involve significant risk. In the event of an Issuer failing it is likely that you may lose all, or part, of your initial investment and receive no outstanding or future interest payments.
If a business you invest in fails, neither the company you invest in – nor Crowdcube – will pay you back you investment. You should only invest an amount that you are willing to lose and should build a diversified portfolio to spread risk.
Lack of liquidity
Liquidity is the ease with which you can sell your investments after you have purchased them. Mini-bonds purchased from businesses pitching through Crowdcube cannot be sold as they are generally non-transferrable and will not be listed on a secondary trading market such as the LSE ORB. Please refer to the individual mini-bond documentation for full details of transferability. Investments in mini-bonds through Crowdcube should be viewed as a long term and illiquid investment.
Restricted redemption rights
Companies issuing mini-bonds through Crowdcube set the terms for redeeming their investor's capital. Investors should be aware that they will not be able to redeem their initial investment under any circumstances other than those set out in the terms and conditions of the documentation of an individual mini-bond, meaning their capital will typically be locked up for 3-5 years and should therefore be viewed as a long term and illiquid investment.
Unsecured investment
Mini-bonds are typically an unsecured investment, meaning there is no security over property or assets supporting the purchase of bonds. For example, when a bank lends you money to buy a house its security on the property is a mortgage, entitling the bank to repossess your house if you don't make the required payments.
Investors in unsecured mini-bonds have no such mortgage or security over the assets of companies they lend to. This means that if an Issuer fails, it is unlikely that an investor will have their initial investment or outstanding interest payments returned to them because there is no security over any remaining assets.
Lower in the pecking order on winding up
If an Issuer falls into financial difficulty and goes out of business, other creditors and debt holders with seniority – including fixed charge holders, administrators, employees who are owed wages, banks, and secured debtors - will be compensated first. This means it is unlikely mini-bond investors, who sit below all of the previously mentioned in the pecking order, will have their initial investment or outstanding interest payments returned to them after higher ranked creditors are compensated.

Enough with the repetitive twisting and cherry-picking of Bruce McPherson's record. When you look out over our beautiful, well protected Monterey Bay, thank Bruce McPherson, for, without his critical make-or-break vote, we'd be looking at oil rigs. You can also take a stroll through thousands of pristine acres of local open space that, without Bruce McPherson, would be covered with mini-mansions.
Why do so many pro-choice leaders in this county support Bruce? Because he's the best choice for choice. Why are the local leaders of environmental protection backing Bruce? Because he's proved his commitment to preserving and restoring our environment.
Gail Levey, Soquel

Brass Bibelots Every piece in our collection of brass bibelots is sand cast in solid brass then polished to perfection by hand. Like a fine wine or your favorite leather jacket, our brass only gets better with age. Over time, the polished brass will develop a rich natural patina. If desired, buff out fingerprints and surface scratches with a dollop of brass polish and a microfiber cloth. And here's a nifty designer's tip: if you have no patience for patina, drop your brass in a bucket of acetone (but only at your own risk).

Annemarie and Rosemarie diSalvo with Keith Mazzei on the porch they desisgned for the Hampton Designer Showhouse.
The orange canvas awning and bamboo elements lend privacy and a party vibe.
A fun, summery detail.
For the Old York Museum Showhouse, Georgie McGowan evoked old Maine nostalgia by using a Penobscot Bay swing modeled after gliders of the 1920s and '30s, when "people would load up their cars or take their trunks on the train and stay the whole summer," she says.
Designer Georgie McGowan
The table setting enhances the cool, fresh mood on this veranda, which, designer Georgie McGowan says, "is on the back side of the house overlooking a very spacious backyard and lawn, with a view of the Atlantic Ocean in the middle distance."
The Adirondack chair, made by a local craftsman, has fewer slats than most, and the back, which is one solid board with a cut down the center, makes it especially comfortable.
Situated outside an artist's studio, the porch that Elsa Soyars designed or the Hampton Designer Showhouse is a mix of textures and colors--a coffee table of woven recycled aluminum and teak; a handsome, washable plastic rug; and linen pillows.
The brick wall adds color, texture, and almost an indoor family room feel to the porch.
Designer Elsa Soyars
Bright prints give pillows a carefree retro look.
"I was inspired by its Jeffersonian proportions and classical elegance," designer Andrew Law says of this grand porch, which he designed for the D.C. Design House. Its size led him to create two sitting areas, and drapery panels enhance an indoor-outdoor flow. A weathered driftwood finish gives wicker pieces a gracefully aged look. The porch lanterns are from Niermann Weeks.
Designer Andrew Law.
A challenge of this space, Andrew says, was to create an outdoor environment as luxurious as the interior. "Through the use of exterior fabrics, vinyl rugs designed to mimic sisal, and cast iron and stone pieces, we were able to create an outdoor living and dining terrace that felt as if it were an extension of the home's gracious interior."
"The 18th-century carved stone eagle quickly became a focal point, and he seemed perfectly perched to both welcome guests and survey the garden below," Andrew says.
Christina Murphy settled on grays and ivories as the palette for this small, private spot at the Hampton Designer Showhouse because they remind her of the soft driftwood found on Long Island beaches. The large wicker chair with circular legs gives the space character.
Bright gold enlivens the quiet color scheme.
"I loved that this space was enclosed by walls on two sides so that you feel somewhat protected from the elements but still outdoors," Christina says. "It's a small space that could easily be overlooked or ignored, but with a bit of furniture, it's a lovely space to read and relax in that's especially fitting for smaller groups."
Nancy Pearson wanted something unexpected, so instead of lanterns, she opted for new but classic Visual Comfort fixtures to echo the lattice windows in her design for the Hampton Designer Showhouse. She contrasted the formality of topiary with the informality of accents in island colors. The coffee table's top is taken from a cross-section of a tropical tree.
Designer Nancy Pearson
An antique tea cart serves as a minibar.
"I went with white upholstery and furniture for a fresh look that was versatile, and for accents in bright garden colors--pinks, purples, and oranges--to pick up the colors of delphiniums, poppies, zinnias, and other colorful annuals in the garden," Nancy says.

Bring a new dimension to your designs with our Artisan Series. Each blank is individually cast resulting in a hand-wrought quality. These pieces differ from regular die cut blanks in several ways:
- Gauge: Most of these blanks are approximately 19-gauge thick resulting in a solid pendant that has a substantial feel to it.
- Surface: Due to the nature of cast objects, there are slight variations in the surface of the blanks. They are not smooth like our die-cut sheet metal blanks. To restore the original shine after oxidizing, they can be polished by hand or in a tumbler after stamping.
- Oxidation: The brass blanks do have a tendency to tarnish more rapidly than sterling silver. To slow down the tarnishing process after you have stamped, oxidized and polished the blank, you can apply a thin spray coating of an acrylic fixative to the surfaces. You can also apply a small amount of Renaissance Wax to the blank and buff gently. This will coat the piece and prevent rust.
