yeah. it is.
Dual is pretty much like "Durabrand" from walmart, or Rampage.
generic stuff. very inexpensive. not that well made, and I've already started seeing people pop up with failed products practically brand new.
once again though, ya get what ya pay for.

A rating..on a scale from 1-10 a 1 only because they come in red. Honestly though, they dont sound good to me at all..

These inexpensive brands that pop up and boast a lot of stuff usually never work good.

You get what you pay for always will apply in this hobby, always.

Learn this lesson now while were telling you, or learn it later after you buy inferior equipment and learn the hard way.
