I bought some 6.5 neos before. They sounded good and took power. Was happy with them. There subs might be a completely different story though. I would be curious to find out.

He bolded rebranded alibaba. I have no experience with ds18 but I wouldn’t bother with it either. I would rather run a soundqubed hds 8 for $89 (only have d4 in stock at the moment) or go with a sundown refurb sa8 for $129

Is it just rebranded alibaba like everything else

Like everything else in that price range you mean.

That said, not everything coming out of these Chinese sweatshops is terrible but you simply don't know which products are going to be decent and which junk. Most people who would know the difference aren't gambling on no-name cheap brands so you're relying on reviews from folks who may not even know better.

If you like a gamble give it a whirl and see what happens. It's probably identical to something else already out there.

I heard good stuff about their higher end subs

If you are looking for an 8 though there are several tried and proven 8’s in that bidget

I knew everyone would say sa8 and it's a def option but I'm the kind of guy if I was gonna buy a sa8 might as well spend a little more and get an x8....but I'm really not trying to do all that In the wife's ride she's probably gonna go shoe shopping and throw a box back there no fuks given cause she doesn't care about being a basshead

I don't know about your cl and offer up area but where I am there is a ton of car audio but it's either junk or overpriced. Any time something decent is posted it's swooped up and someone trys to flip it
