So it's finalized. I'm going with spl dean I'm so excited, I cannot wait till it comes in. I took my sub to a friend of mine to recone it, he I species my sub, gave it a few taps here and there and he concluded that my subs coil had shifted! That's why it's making those noises son certain notes. I'm super bummed out on the workmanship and/or QUALITY of my soundqubed sub. Maybe things happen for a reason, and this gave me the opportunity to see what spl dean is all about. I'm saddened by this experience, I really wanted to believe in soundqubed. The reviews, the pics, the unboxing videos, the pricing, all that. But I'm let down and will cut ties with this company and not suggest to anyone I can.
