[QUOTE="djdilliodon!, post: 8775837, member: 684299"] the coils from China are junk. frames, magnets, and even cones can be of good quality. Spiders it can be a toss up. The build quality, it’s a big difference vs China and here. The other issue is many of the subs built overseas the specs are highly inflated. Power handling, TS specs, xmax, even the voice coil sizes can be wrong. Ive taken tons of subs apart and have verified this by just measuring the winding widths the xmax figures are way off. Ive measured coil diameters and saw those off as well. Most recent a Dayton max X doesn’t use a 2.5” coil like stated, it’s actually a 2.38” coil. Now is there anything wrong with buying a sub made in China? Not at all, especially if you are on a budget but I can tell you that the mark up being paid is insane. You can literally buy American bass subs unbranded from China yourself. If you know where to look and don’t mind it not saying the name on it, you can do it and save money. Here is an example.
