"I think everything RE is overrated really. but for the right price anything could suit the purpose."
Really? Ive heard multiple re se's setups and loved the way each one sounded. owned some re8's and they were nice sounding for an entry level woofer. After all, their original designs were done when scott @ Fi worked for the company.
Im not saying that RE sucks, and im not saying that the designs suck either. What im saying is , i have seen a decline in performance since they became a highly distributed line. For example, a friend of mine has an RE XXX 12 on a US Amps MD3D, in a custom enclosure and my daily driver has an Atomic AP12 on an Atomic 1000.1 and its a world of a difference in similar vehicles, half the power and half the price. So to me, The "Shop" price of RE is rediculous. RE products look good and sound good, m just syaing for the money there are other things Id rather put in my car.(personal preference.
What are 'similar vehicles?' A tahoe and suburban are similar vehicles so I have to ask. I agree with the decline in things to an extent, but for a mainstream company they have some nice stuff for the most part. I would also prefer the mt over the apx, its personal preferance I suppose.
