this is nature of the beast but Im sure AQ will have the best prices //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif As far as the designs go im sure some are different just because a woofer looks alike doesnt mean they all share the same things //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif Very interesting indeed though.

indeed, the spiders could have different compliances, the voice coil could be very different, also there could be different machinings inside the motors, just thought it was funny that there were twins out already

The Zapco (I was told) has a solid T-Yoke and a Triple Stack double layer mirror spiders.

The American Bass has a regular vented T-Yoke with Triple Stack Single layer Spiders.

The SPL Dynamics has a vented T-Yoke that is also cross drilled with 3 to 4 stack single layer spider.

But again, this is what I have been told and it all could change since they are not in full production yet!

Maybe AQ sold the design to cut the engineering costs for the HD3C? Maybe that's why they're so **** cheap?

Nothing really to shout about any of those sub lines. All real similar. tommy's right - its just now down to price and of course what name you want stamped on it.

Thats a possiblity except it will cost twice as much and then borrow 1000 dollars off you which you will never get back.

My guess is going to be audioque. Their prices have always been the lowest from a price/performance ratio.

Yeah, I just cant see Zapco offering more than its normal boated price for their driver.

Tis a pitty that these manufacturers couldnt order a different basket at least. There ARE different china baskets out there //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif
