Resonant Engineering X series looks ghey

[skylineTT 10+ year member]

why the feck did they switch to those frail universal baskets rather than the nicer universal baskets? everything about the new X subs looks super weak. i know its probably cheaper but wont they sell less due to performance loss over the older stuff? im lookin to recone some subs and just happen to find some pics of this new crap.

they have been that way a while and people still buy them. I wouldn't waste a penny on them now though... heard they also use lower grade mags on their MTs as well.. but that is hearsay so..

for gheys IMO. they just look so cheap now. idk why they would mess with the MT. it wont increase sales. the XXX needs to be left alone too.

A new shop down here that recently became a Resonant Engineering dealer told me that out of the 4 RE sxx12s that he has sold so far. 2 have had the dust cap fail.

dang. yeah i think RE should reconsider all of the optimizing output with chinese labor.

If you're talking about the SX(X), then I agree. The 05 style SX was a great sub. I still have one in fact. The new one doesn't look as nice, although since I haven't heard nor owned one, I can't comment on their quality or performance.
