I baught mine directly from them over the phone. There support is great, and shipping is fast, and normally there packaged very well(only my 10 had two card board cutout rings and no packing, just sitting in the box, it shook around alot). Anyway, a lot of the guys around school talk about how good there system is becuase the rms value is 500(a set of audiobahn performer series with the CHROME flames on them...) and how hard 4 MA audio 15's hit(wich btw he only did a 146.5 with 'em). Its that kind of crap that I just ignore becuase they have no clue what they are talking about.There are even those kids at school who talk about how puney my subs(two 12" RE series) are because they only accept 175wrms. Well big woop. They might only accept that, but they sound good loud and manage to hit the low notes when i want them to. I just laugh everytime stereos are talked about at school now that i know partly what im doing.

you will have to call RE because their email response is just horrific. even if you have to try them many times they are helpful and audiofreak is right, they do ship very nicely. my re10 came in just a cardboard box with foaming and such all around, but if you get a bigger sub, oh boy. for instance, im not sure what model they start at, but XXX's come in crates, two by fours and all!
anyways they are moving warehouses right now so if you are trying to call them you might have a tough time.
what sub are ya looking to get?

yeah, i know a guy who had 4 15" kicker comp VRs. Then he got an 18" XXX and he said not only does the XXX sound better, but its louder.
theres the typical systems at my school too, 2 12" alpine type e's, etc

well, like fine cars, good systems are the exception to what most people have.
that's why we appreciate them even more when we encounter the occasional great system :)

I want to put out 800w RMS at least. I really don't have a lot of money and I plan to work the money up after working here and there. So I want to get a system that won't be looked down on by everyone here. Because I've come to the conclusion that the people on this forum know a lot more about car audio than anyone that I can contact directly. I like 10' subs from experience. I guess they hit a little bit sharper to the metal and hardcore music that I listen to. But I've never had 15's before, so if anyone has any input on how 15's perform I'd gladly listen. I'm thinking about getting 2 of these

Thanx,
