[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8390480, member: 614752"] All things equal, even if you assume you're getting same quality steel and the same grade ceramic as one of the more trustworthy brands, you're definitely getting Chinese coils and Chinese manufacturing which is inferior every time period. Assuming you could get a motor and frame for 200$ and build it up with some known quality softparts you might do OK but you're still taking a gamble IMO. There's plenty of subs that lie about power handling, but 8500W is absolutely absurd and I imagine the sort of company that sells Sounstream doesn't know any better and would actually sell it to someone who intended to do that with it, while a retail store would probably try to steer people clear of trouble situations. Why would anybody buy those at the 750$ "sale price" much less the 1300$ MSRP? Of course these aren't selling, you can pick up SP4 from Fi for 460$ + upgrades, or Team series for under 700$ and that's American steel, machined in-house, assembled in house and using American coils.... or the countless other options of strong 4" coil subs out there that are built in-house and use better softparts?
