I just equate the clear / neon light look with putting $25000 worth of rims, crazy graphics, aftermarket parts, and neon lights onto a $9000 Honda Civic. I mean, if you're into that kind of thing, more power to you. I just don't find it all that classy. I think of a high-end speaker like a high end car -- if I'm spending the money, give me black paint, real wood, and put the rest of the money into parts made of unobtainium so that the price tag is justified by the performance and not the flash... just my 2cents...

Pimp my sub!
H9: If you don't trust what you are hearing, then maybe you need to be less invested in a hobby which all the pleasure comes from listening to music. -

Sounds like a high-end amp, for goodness sake... I'm not optimistic about the sound, but I'm not an engineer (let alone a materials engineer). ...Curt... Take MPEGs!
