Just my $.02
The price difference doesn't include installation.

It's more a question of component failure rates. I don't have a problem with installs.

I will take a plane up there and kick your butt if I have to. Then we can go have a nice dinner together.
Maybe with a bunch of the PNW guys. Something local that I can't get around here. I am sure Ultra would have some suggestions.

Oh, in that case, If you know what you are doing with wiring, impedance, gain, etc. then just go with the cheaper option! Highly unlikely it will fail if everything is setup right. Alpine subs are decently reliable all-rounders and the only way you'll torch it before its natural lifespan is by fucking up something on install/setup

So the only way that you'll come to the PNW to hang with us is on the condition that you must kick steve's ass first? Hmmm interesting dilemma you've put us in.

Huzzahhhh. I kind of miss the 90s/00s in which standalone car audio stores were all over the place.

I have one about a block from home. I considered dropping in once but took one look at the parking lot and figured I needed to buy a big wing, underglow and stick on tribal graphics before they would sell me anything.

They got rid of the best thread on this board, and possibly the entire internet, today.

I'm thinking I am sad and pissed off.

That's the problem. There are too many butts on the internet. That thread was a collection of the finest butts on the internet. It was like someone already picked out the green skittles and saved them for you so you don't have to find them yourself.

If it's gone.....
