    Yeah the Chinese knock off’s are bad but honestly every company tends to do it some extent.
    And as far as the Chinese government getting 26% well hell the US government gets about 26% of my paycheck every two weeks so what’s the difference?

    Thank you everyone for the support, it is definitely frustrating when foreign competitors copy your design. I will be sharing this with our engineers so they know. Just based off the pictures they are not using the latest LED technology.

    Well I like deep body rattling bass and shallow mount subs just wouldn’t have cut it for me. My little bro has a behind the seat box with 2 Memphis 12s and it’s just not for me.

    Oh yeah I totally understand what you’re saying. That’s how I explain it to people that say “you’re gonna ruin your hearing with that sub”. It the mids and tweets that do that lol. But yeah, the box is tuned to like 32hz so it will get to the low 20s for sure but probably not below that. It’s a Skar VXF btw. To me it’s more of the feeling in the head and chest that you get from low bass, less the sound.

    My little grocery getter suv has an 8" factory sub, with the factory upgraded Sony system, mounted in the rear cargo space like a 4runner or FJ. My grandkid always gives me grief for the thumpity thump bass. I say any sub mounted anywhere is better than no sub. Then again I am comparing everything else to owning 6 stock head unit Tacomas. Anything is better than that. Really anxious to upgrade to a nice touch screen unit and a good satellite ready antenna. Last 2 Tacos sound like portable radios even with Kicker speakers. Then reception goes to crap when a bumble bee flies near the truck.

    Productive day! Did an oil change, greased the driveshaft, touched up Fluid Film, lubed the door hinges, cleaned the MAF, and discovered I might need some brake lines soon as one spot is starting to get crispy :annoyed:
