Because, some people are just idiots. I'm gonna rant, too. Loud Music is the name of the store. thought these were honest people. I really did. I came in, box with Rainbow Soundline imprinted in nice letters, asking about kickpanels. Guy asked if i bought them at a flea market. Yeah, there's no big deal there, he's never heard of them. He was quick to point out the Ultra Linears on display had bigger surrounds and magnet. Whoop de doo. Then he tells me I need to look into some high quality subs and speakers. I mentioned the ultra low death rates, underrating, mic scores, and the fact it took 6 times as long to cut through an IA than most other subs (IA site's reviews section). Then I SHOWED him the Rainbows and the "handmade in germany" printed right on them. Obviously I don't know anything, German speakers can't be all that great.
This coming from a store that pimps the Volfenhag ZX48.
He said his comp winning car hit around 150db with 8 MA HK 12s and a MA HK 4400 strapped to each sub. (35200 watts, HO alt maybe, big 3, no..) Naturally, I mention Team Pwnage's 153 odd score with 2 IA LIs and 1000 watts on each. Yeah, I'm *so* bullsh*tting. You could never hit that high with 2 subs. I'm also lying about Scottie J. There's no chance in hell any subs could break a steel frame. I only saw it on video.
I feel your pain.
