It is not a lie, I don't care for the way they sound and are one of if not the worst I've heard. It is not the enclosure it was in either, tried it in a sealed box giving the sub a QTC of about .76 and a ported box 2ft^3 @ 31hz. The response wasn't as smooth as other drivers and the low end was terrible, not to mention it needed over the recommended power to have any satisfactory output to it. Dealing with Kevin was also horrible, it was like pulling teeth just to get an answer. Multiple email of the same question just to get one answer, him forgetting my order and me having to tell him multiple times what it was, Having to tell him where to send the sub multiple times, among others. man that sucks good luck on new setup
