Subwoofer Brands

Are RE sub's good? i've been told by some people that they are comparable to DD(digital design) the reason i'm asking is that my car audio shop want to put in 1 RE 10" sub in place of my two JL w1's, they told me that the RE would go lower and louder.. what the deal here..

Dont know much about em, but I have seen some really impresive things with the kickers that have the sewn in butyl surrounds...compvx i think they are...but DAMN....very good tight response for a 15 incher....could only imagine what the smaller ones can do....theres a boston accoustics shaped like a 6x9 but bigger that handles some crazy amount of power(in the 1000 rms range i think)

See my avatar.

First of all it is not shaped like a 6X9.

It is essentially a 10" woofer that has been cut and stretched.

It sounds like 2 really high end, high excursion sound quality woofers.

We do rate it at 1000w.rms, but they've been known to take much more than that.

BTW. I am one of the foremost experts on Boston Acoustics Mobile Audio product in the country.

RE is ok. So is DD. No better or worse than most subwoofers built with Chinese made warehouse parts, (like Kicker, and most other companies without the ability to do their own engineering and have no ability to do any manufacturing.)

Me personally, I'm a fan of well engineered, well built product that sounds good and holds up to abuse.

I like the following:

Boston Acoustics SPG, G5, & G3
JL Audio W6V.2
Image Dynamics IDMax
Hertz Mille
MTX Thunder 8500
Critical Mass UL series

However, I realize I may have a larger budget on my speakers, since it is not only my hobby, but it is my career.

Sorry. I handle New England. I have nothing to do with any territory outside of that.

Besides, when you said this:

You basically said something along the lines of, "I was going to buy a BMW, but I was able to get a better deal on a Hyundai."
