[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8579515, member: 614752"] Most of what makes a sub really good you won't see (or won't see until it fails prematurely). Very importantly, can you tell one grade of magnet or steel from another (spoiler* you can't tell without enormously expensive lab equipment), can you tell if a motor is a good design ( you can't without verifying quality of materials and engineering software). If you don't know any better you might still be happy... or the stuff may be fine, but you're gambling when you stray from established companies. You risk poor sound, weak output, premature failure (from sketchy quality control) and poor to no resale value down the road. If the company is right down the road and you get a good vibe from them, give them a chance, at least you're close enough to raise hell for warranty claim if it doesn't deliver as advertised.
