Thoughts on this beginner setup.

You won't find any love for Skar around here though.

I am an exception. I actually really like Skar. I've done a few systems (none are my own) with Skar audio. From an F-250 Platinum upgrade, a Colorado full build, to a Sentra with NOT 1 SPEAKER in the car. None sounded bad at all, and all were budget friendly.

I just wish that some more people on here would have the balls to post pics of their vehicle(s), systems, and videos. A lot of "keyboard Warriors" out there.

Go look for mine. It's an ugly pos.

I hear ya. I've seen guys tear stuff up with Skar subs and amps. It sounds like the Skar owner made a mistake and everybody hates him now. You know, because they are all perfect, right?
 
I I responded to a thread not long back and stated that the 15 inch Pyle subwoofer isn’t actually bad for a 40$ sub, fully anticipating a full on slaughter. I was surprised when it didn’t happen. Same usually happens with skar, and lime I’ve stated before, I wouldn’t buy skar personally, but I’ve done a few enclosures for other people who bought skar, and I have t9 say that they are not bad subs at their price. They’re loud and get low in a custom enclosure, like a subwoofer is supposed to. I’ve worked with a ton of cheap subs and thrown many prefab boxes away from people’s cars, and there aren’t actually may subs that won’t produce bass when it’s modeled in software and put into an optimal enclosure. Sometimes the cheaper subs are just so inefficient that the box size required to squeeze every bit of bass you can from it is just way too large. In the Pyle line of subs I mentioned earlier, they literally have 1 sub in their entire lineup that is realistically usable in a vehicle. The 10 inch sub wants a larger box than the 15. Ported boxes is out of the question for any of their stuff, or it will fail. Point to this whole ramble of mine, is that your system is only as good as the install and the enclosure. You can find some good sound for a cheap price, and skar is definitely good in their price. In a good box, their as good as any other sub in their price range.
 
No one is perfect but he showed time and time again his true colors. And he continues to do so with his business practices. It’s one thing to **** up and learn from it and another to **** up and just keep ******* up.
 
A friend of mine just hit a 150.5 with two Skar 12's in the trunk and the meter in the passenger kick panel. So, people can shitt on them all they want, but they produce. The same guy also did a 159 with 6- AB HD15's in a sixth order in a Tahoe. So, people can hate Skar an AB for whatever reason they want to, but they can do the job. Especially for the price and power handling capabilities.
 
Just search how he’s handled his business practices. He literally waits for sundown to make something and then tries to copy it with the build house catalog. The shittiest subs can hit numbers if done right. I honestly give two shits about numbers and care about sound/build quality. Yes they make ok equipment just like AB because it’s literally all the same shit from the same factories.

And Fi ships most of their parts over from China, but everybody loves them. Why do you think that they have such a long waiting list? It's a little harder to get parts shipped over here from China during the pandemic. But, everybody loves Fi. Personally, right now, I would love to run Deaf Bonce or Ampere Audio (2.5's) subs and amps.

Some stuff you just can’t get here in the US. They at least machine stuff and build them here. That’s why people like Fi. They don’t use China for every step and profit off of their cheap labor.

Made in the USA is a bit of a stretch. Assembled in the USA is more like it. They are great subs, don't get me wrong, but let's not be naive to the truth. "Some assembly required"
 
I consider them more built than just assembled.

I'm just going by what my good buddy, who has personally walked their warehouse here in Vegas, has let me know. He's only been in the industry for 30 years, so, what does he know, right? What's the difference in built and assembled? I can build a house or assemble a house. Splitting hairs.
