Matt just needs to ignore them like I did my little brother when he got annoying. He in my opinion has been more open than any of the pecker head haters, why I don't know. His experaince with the AQ subs is very valueble to me and I thank him for it. For all the AQ nut huggers, I appreciate your wanting to defend your brand, but the pics don't lie, and the fact that AQ has not responded to the issue in a month says even more. Maybe you need to accept that AQ has possibly made a bad decision and accepted inferior manufacturing practices and is passing it on to the end user (knowing or unknowing?) I would suspect they may have possibly done so to enhance the margins, and it is back firing. Just a theroy so don't get your ******* in a wad!
