This is true. Some people follow a company though because of a cosmetic value or because an owner is a good guy and pushes customer service to its limits, or because his buddies are running them. Its human nature to jump on the bandwagon or hate on the bandwagon. But your 100% correct. Should be first looking at performance and reliability when running a sub.But you're not going to see any of that, so performance > looks, homeslizzle.
DD 1508's have been proven for a while now.You can get a used SA8 for around 85 dollars. You can rarely find a used 1508 for anything under 125
85?! wow thats amazingUnsure I mean I would call and place order with them as you can customize everything. I had a few options added to my sub from them so I had to call to place order but I love mine it's a beast. The 8's cost $85 plus shipping
