Everyone knows the only true way to measure speaker quality is by msrp.

HEY!!! leave audiobahn alone I took a world record with them (honestly I did in meca) But honestly they don't take the abuse they should and there are some build issues on their lower line. lol. ways to tell if a speaker is good. honest RESEARCH RESEARCH AND MORE RESEARCH... read tons of forums and form your own opinion. Yeah audio. dang ! I didn't realize. That is why people always tell me the w7 is the loudest woofer in the world. and no wonder I can't get loud... i was always basing my choices on things that matter not the msrp. That is it!!! I am just going to start buying the most expensive woofers.... (you know what is sad.... this holds some truth with the consumer unfortunately. As far as stiff.. I have felt some stiff pyramid subs lol. But honestly it does seem typically most loud woofers in ported boxes do have stiff suspension . But this sole factor would NOT be a good way to judge
