Don't ask people at this board, they are all RE gay.

The more expensive the sub the more you save.

You can view the normal prices in the FAQ section and compare.

Everyone has favorites...there's no point in getting offensive. It's something to expect in this hobby. It does suck for the dealers...but if you were in their position with old inventory that dealers werent selling...what would you do? They have to think about themselves a little bit here. If you don't sell RE then its not really something you have to worry about, but I can understand your frustration; being as this is how you make your money, and it will still steal possible business for the fact that someone might go that route then through you with another product.

As far as product quality goes...its good. I havent seen much RE around these parts or back home, but what I have seen I have liked. That's my opinion. Since my original route was to buy an SX, this might be the time for me to get it instead of those speakers right now. Just find deal after deal and wait till I have everything to install it. This new truck I bought...I just found out I have to drive it home to Oregon to get it registered. My insurance wont insure it for more than 60 days out of state :unwell028 . It's going to be like $500 in gas round trip, plus registration costs ($150)...ouch.

Any of em. Depends on how much you wanna dish out. I dunno about being "RE gay" is the right word to say. Just because we like the company and have great results from them. Then we tell someone else, so on and so on. I choose to rep RE because of their great prices, and performance, I also on it to. If I owned any other brand, and it worked great for me, I'd do the same thing. In stead of just bashing it.

I would use your knowledge on what else he can look into, ex: Elevation, brands that you have had great success with. If we were all Eley Gay, would that make you more happy :)

As for stephensmia, Any one of those would be a great pick. Just depends on how much power you have, how money, what kinda sound you looking for, SQ, SQL, SPL.

i agree with justin on this one re does have shitty buisness practices i just did a car with 2 sx 12s and i was not impressed my single 12 premier blasted them... and to top it off sounded better. no offence to the re guys it could be alot of things but i didnt really like um and i dont think i will use them again.

i have had absolutly no experience with RE so i cant give any input on quality. alot of times though elevation audio dealers will run specials of their own like but 1 comp get 1 half off or something like that so that 75 each for a comp 10 witch is a great sub and a great deal i know mine in my wicked one is 1 of the top 5 loudest cars in watertown and the one of the cheapest to do too.

Im not going to say thats impossible but it is hard to believe.

Install? Box? Amplifier?

The sub is only so much of a factor...

Lol, its most definetly the amp.

If you can afford SX's at LEAST put something like an ARC KAR on them... THey are reasonably priced compared to other shit brands (Boss)
