[QUOTE="DRBOOM, post: 8675525, member: 676005"] I cannot comment on the brand as , we don't have that brand here in Australia , but we may have another brand called Option Audio that may have come out of the same factory as its made in China. There are many branded products that are also made in China today. Pioneer gear, Sony, Kenwood as well, Originally they were all made in Japan but not anymore :crying: . I I somehow think the consumer gaining knowledge on the product and having responsibility in using their gear and it comes down to; [LIST][*]using wrong power/ ground wire size for your sound system; [*]Not reading the product manual to get the best out of your new toy (who does this today instead of using google to find reviews) [*]Reviews on the net are written by Joe Bloggs, not an audio expert who knows how to carefully set gains, break in subwoofer period, wiring knowledge, ohms law etc.. [*]ensuring good connection from point to point; [*]ensuring amplifier is secured so it does not bang on the trunk wall when you turn the vehicle; :uhoh: [*]ensuring subwoofer box is made to specs; [*]ensuring the subwoofer amp will not over-power the subwoofer and shorten its lifespan; [*]ensuring the subwoofer is broken in for a week or two, depending on your daily driving; (this one is often overlooked and when subwoofer fails, consumer blames a dud product) [*]ensuring the subwoofer box is secure in the trunk area; [*]Wrongly setting the amplifier gains too high; :crying: [*]wrong expectation of getting more 'juice' from the amp / subwoofer system; [/LIST] In todays internet world, its easy to post a bad comment about a product without any background on how the product was used according to specs. As we all know from a fact if you run a subwoofer / speaker hard when its new, you can damage it and then write to the world not to buy the product. Without the statement that you tried to crank the **** out of it without breaking in the subwoofer, I think under the circumstance, any subwoofer could be damaged this way regardless of the brand. By the way, the Rockville subwoofers look pretty decently made and looks beefy as well. Given its power rating, no doubt it would run well given 500rms on daily. [LIST][*] [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
