A picture is worth a thousand words, but facts are nearly impossible to disprove. Coiuld it be that Audioque is really good stuff? Yes, it is. However, NDMstang65, your standards are just so high, and so targeted at 2 or 3 brands, that because you saw 1 sub fold, you judge the entire company by that failure. I notice all the other subs are still in good shape.
Lower your standards. A good sub is a good sub. If you want to burp yours at full power every day, you're not gonna get a measly $250 sub. And that pic is DD, NOT Audioque. Even if they're almost exactly alike. It's like posting a pic of a blown RE XXX and saying Brahmas **** because this similar sub is dead.
DJL - I personally saw your first post as immature. It's all good to stand behind a product. It's even better to do so without any personal attacks. "I have no problem with his SPAMING on the forums; he has to live with that. I do have a problem with his outright lies." Your first post, and suddenly you know all about the posting habits of a member who's been here for 3 years? I have been a member of tons of different forums, and to me, a 3 year lurker is nearly unheard of. I can think of one who was 18 months.
Stand behind what you say. Say it with dignity and honor. Don't think just because you have a strong point in an argument means anything. Trust this self proclaimed expert. Being cocky is a bad thing.
