OK im going to defend sundown because its obvious your not informed.
the woofers are turn key and completely customs woofers. i've built loudspeakers so trust me when i say this.
they are by NO MEANS CHEAP to build.
the baskets are patented and custom built. you have any idea how much it cost to apply for and hold a patient? didn't think so.
the motors are custom built and are much more expensive than the basic motor FI offers..
they have custom spiders custom coils custom surrounds. anything that is good and pushes the envelope cost. R&D cost building the product cost a ton when you use almost completely designed and built in house parts. nothing is shelf parts and nothing can be bought in huge bulk to lower pricing. they aren't over priced just over built!
FI i love there builds too its more tridional and raw builds while still having excellent build and keeping cost low. they have alot of stuff me and you can buy and pretty much imitate for faily cheap.
standard surrounds cone spiders baskets. they do tool there own motors and its cool that the basic platforms are shared through a few companies making them more affordable in a bulk sense but they just aren't custom like the sundown woofers. both make great woofers and are great companies..
the sundown woofers are very overbuilt and the X is rated much much lower than other companies would rate a similar woofer.
sundown actually breaks the mold and does things differently. they aren't the cheapest and for good reason. they aren't cheap to build..
