Ha, me and a friend was talking about this subject about 2 days ago. Alot of people dis like a company because of what other people say. Just like the solobaric. People may say this and that about it, and a person who has never heard the woofer perfrom may get carried away by the negative talk and develop a since of hatred towards the company. I think, in some form or fashion everyone is like this. I mean, im sure alot of people havent heard walmarts Rampage speakers, but im sure they wouldnt by it just because its sold at walmart. I really think this was funny, since i was just talking about this and more specifically, talking about the solobaric woofers from kicker. Oh and for the Fosgate thing, some people dont like it because Bestbuy carry their subs. But this is just my opinion
