FAR from it.  Just that when you ditch some of the cosmetics on drivers and look at the dims for the motors and actual soft parts used... they come off pretty dang close.  Now add some fake rivets, a splash of chrome, and the nudie mud flap girl on the dustcap and you have a winner. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gifThings wrong with products?  Hell I fall into that category for some of them.  But then again, you scale things given their importance to the application and cost.  For most 2" coil subs, you arent going to going to stress over severe coil cooling and using cones that can withstand 170+ dB.  (Although you do get customers that do want the $29 2" coil sub that can withstand 10kW all day and dont get why you cant make it)   Cost does dictate things...Chromed poles... never a good thing (chromed stuff in your engine compartment is poop too).  Polevents (wide open).  Woven in tinsel leads (sewn on are MUCH better).  Non braided/woven tinsel leads or much of the crap leads that come from China.   Not putting a bead of glue on the backside of your spider/VC joint (unless you are so cost concerened about a penny or expecting such minimal power... put the bead there)  Spiders... I have used them from several manufacturers and keep going back to only one of them... All others turn to mush and ****.Things are getting better.  China is learning and there are a couple OEM manufacturers there that are the best period.  Much of what I say does pertain to China as most everything comes out of there nowadays.  The crap you see there is simply mindboggling... why would waste time and money to tool that?   But then again, my personal tastes dont always seem to run with what sells to the general 16-20 year old market.  Otherwise Id have flames and ***** on my baskets too //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gifLots of stuff works, and works fine for the intended application.  But there are things for the money that simply work better.  Be it from a big name or not.</blockquote>
