WTF is up with these alien spaceship looking subwoofers? I want a classic sub!

Have you seen the "fashionable" sneakers and clothing from the last decade or so? Most of it is ugly as f*ck. Why should audio equipment be any different?//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

It is unfortunate. However as long as there is eBay I can get what I want //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Just about done building the amp rack for my white Autotek 44 and 99. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif Running DVC quart tens.

I'd also like to say that I can respect an odd design if it's for the sake of a new technology or a worthwhile reason of some kind. Ugly for the sake of function is fine by me...

It's different from what was there. I like to keep my trunk.

Took this out:

IDK what is up with the trend to make your subwoofer look as ugly as humanly possible these days, but if the audio companies are listening listen to this:
We want a sub that looks like a sub.

How about this, you introduce a sub called the "classic" Put whatever newer technology you want into it, but leave the ugly plastic alien frames that stretch afoot and a half back or the molded cones that aren't cones anymore but are instead shaped like a chunk of playdoh that was ran through a rock tumbler than stepped on with cleats and finally attacked by a mountain lion clawing across it.

THIS looks like a subwoofer:

This looks like an alien took a S*** on my front lawn and I ran over it with my lawnmower:

If you would like to see classic subwoofers again, please say so. They read and they listen.

I blame Audiobahn and ricers for the fancy looking, space age, crap that is out there on the market. Sadly, now it is a matter of form over function versus the way things had been in the past.

I think that settles it. I am getting out of car audio and going back to firearms as my main hobby.

I won't even consider a sub, or any other component for that matter, that looks like it just landed on Jupiter. At least a driver can be hidden from view. Trying to find a HU that looks like a piece of audio gear can be outright frustrating.

Like stated above... who cares about the wal-mart or best buy brands. it seems like those are the only ppl doing it.... FI, AA, DD, DC, RE All have reg. looking cones and if im in the market for a "real sub" thats who im going with

To the OP

Its business man, kids are buying the speakers b/c when they pop their trunk it looks good to them. they are the same ppl that when they want the loudest system they will go to wal-mart or best buy and get the speakers and amp that have the highest max wattage printed on the box.

Why print max watts on the box, it moves units Why are power caps are still sold to fix dimming, it moves units. Your kinda preaching to the choir man... I dont like the way newer main line subs look but Im not going to b!tch about it Im going to laugh b/c i dont have to look at it or use it

G/L with you point

I dont doubt you or mean to bash you at all but the pics of your H/U differ... the first pic you only have one button under the deck (trac off) and two block off plates the second pic has all three buttons.
