i thnk the problem in this thread is that the OP started off claiming that he did a lot of research and overhyped his "trade" when he got this sub rather than just concede that he got a marginally mediocre sub off of what he thought was a fair deal. if you like the sub, that's one thing...but don't expect people to just sit quietly and stifle themselves while you live in ignorance.
for a little bit more money, you could've gotten a significantly better sub than this...there's no denying it. audiopipe doesn't make very good stuff and that's the bottom line. enjoy your sub, don't let anyone stop you, but it's not fair for you to post on a public forum and expect people's honest (probably more knowledgeable) opinions to not be heard.
