That's just an uneducated opinion since you haven't compared both head to head yet. So him reading reviews on the woofers and relaying opinions expressed within those reviews is uneducated? OK so apparently since I haven't heard the difference between a PYLE subwoofer and an SSA subwoofer I am unable to relay my advice to someone. So with that being said, guys you should try PYLE before you buy any SSA's, you never know, you might be impressed! Honestly from reading the differences between the two, the XCON sounds like a better deal because it is more 'SQ' oriented. Sometimes louder isn't always better!! Really depends on the goal of the system.
