No, not for the money.

Try a search on both brands and you should find your answer.

yes, they are great, steve doesnt know about the quality and craftmanship of them. You cant get any other sub to light on fire with such ease.

Actually, the performance you get will not be worth $10. Let us know how much money you have and we could suggest some better stuff...

I actually had some Tekniques & they gave me alot of bass, but I realized that the crappier, DHD speakers I had before that were better.

Now that I am starting from scratch I will probably never go back to those brands.

If you want to put something together real quick it is ok I guess, or if you got a real piece of crap car. Why would you have $3000 worth of equiptment in a $200 car anyway?

I have about $250 to spend on subs I dont really wont to exeed more than $1000 on the whole car stereo.

Throw in 30-40 more bucks and get a pair of eD K's //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

What are you mainly looking for? SPL, SQ, a mix of both? How many subs? How much room do you have for a box? What type of box? Lots of factors come into play when deciding on a sub.

Some to look at in the meantime...

In my experience, you get what you pay for. If you want a 1000 watt sub, and it's only costing you $50, then thats probably a good indication of how good the sub is.
