[QUOTE="Suicide Bobb, post: 7486412, member: 617319"] Wow, you work at a car audio shop? That immediately means we should trust your opinion because you "know the game"! I like where this is going... Oh, that's pretty cool. It seems like a well engineered subwoofer! [COLOR=black]D[/COLOR]amn, you sure seem to know your stuff! Lets see what else you have to say... A defective sub? That doesn't sound right. A good company wouldn't let a defective sub pass through its factory, would it? Better yet, why would they engineer the sub so that in order to see the serial number, you have to tear the cone out??? That sounds a little counter-intuitive to me!
