I have to "assume" my car was legal if the judges at the shows let me compete...

Im talking DBdrag, Larry is Usaci //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

But Jeremy and Josh talked about it and decided as their was no one in your class for SS3-4 at the CACO show it would be pointless to have you registered as an extreme 3-4 vehicle. Its really no big deal but if you want to bring it up go to a show in Ohio and see how long you last. Greg Zoller would have called that out in seconds. Just like Jeremy lets people sit in cars and so on, he lets **** slide that wouldnt anywhere else cause hes a good dude.

And why is it so stuck in your head, Id ever want to work for a 80year old man who ordered everything pre-designed from the cheapest sub manufacturer in the world. If I wanted to work for a subwoofer company id go to someone who could teach me, to further my education on the subject matter. Jacob, Nick, Scott, David, Rusty, hell any of them could teach me things, DJ has nothing to offer but an okay product at a great price. Never would work for a company like that, I stress to exceed in everything... would never put myself in a position where I couldnt further myself or education.

Thays between DJ and Matt. If he thinks AQ is the biggest POS on the planet, thats his perogative. Get over it.

If it WAS between just them we wouldn't be reading/responding in this thread now would we. Think abou that for a second and you'll see why I take offense to his AQ bashing yet again.

guess its a gray area but i honestly dont care //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

It is a gray area I agree, but as the head world finals judge jeremys say is what stands, he decided it would be considered extreme but it was pointless to put him in that class... thats all it came down to.

The main thing I am getting at is that ONE sub that is known of made it through QC like that. ONE. Is one out of thousands (guessing at that because I have no real number) acceptable? In a perfect world no. But in the real world yes. Would I be a little miffed if it was mine. Yes. I already said that. But manufacturing defects do sneak by. I mean, look at cars. There is a lemon law because cars that are made by dozens of people slip through with manufacturing defects. Again, in a perfect world it wouldn't happen. But people make mistakes. Maybe the dude building the subs wife left him and his mind wasn't in it, maybe it was the end of his shift and he just said fuu it, maybe he honestly didn't notice. We'll never know.

Car is retired so it's a moot point, but going by the definition you gave my car was legal and I was allowed to compete. Not sure why you really care anyway as you weren't in my class.

They why the PM's several months back whining because you spent all this time working on ways that DJ could improve the HDC and he wouldn't respond to your emails??????????????? Riddle me that one batman....

nobody cares, isn't that obvious??? Those who like AQ will continue to buy from them and those who don't like AQ won't....

then leave it at that? dont worry about me showing bad experiences... if I was so after him the first thing I woulda posted about the sub is DJs prices shipped from China from Jinlanda Corp. and his conversations with snow hu about things I dont even wish to get started with.

And you never will.....

I agree. IA has some great QC. I haven't heard a **** thing bad about their products. Other than user error.

Final assembly and QC checks on all of the subs is done in house at Resonance (DD)

 

You can get good quality , not as good as DD but real good, from China if you are willing to pay the price which we do. We do the final assembly and QC, nothing leaves the plant untill it is QCd and power tested.

 

We build the AQ line of subs and amps for those who cannot afford the DD line-up and who would otherwise buy much lower quality products at inflated prices.

 

DD Senior aka DJ

You don't have a clue do you douche lick. I run AQ, Crescendo, Sundown in my car. Have FI & Sundown in the wife's car. I fail at hugging the nutz...
I have NEVER said that AQ was not at fault for this sub slipping through the cracks.

Wow more maturity from a DOA member.

And Jeremy said I was SS3-4......what part of that don't you understand??? Where are your facts to prove I had an extreme vehicle?????
