i would pay no more than RM400 for this... unknown brand and low power rating. Kenwood and Soundstream is only RM599 in lazada.

if it uses 25A fuse, meaning the power rating is MAXed at 12VX25A = 300Wmax.. that is only about 220W Average amplifier built in.

suggest you test the bass yourself to determine the value of it

i am not seller of this...but to be honest....rm400 is way too cheap for this product. i would hope it can be condemn in a fair way..

the build for this subwoofer is totally in different grade compare to the "other" brand.

common mindset will tell you a "long ago" famous brand is good, but in real life, it's not true.

testing it will be the best way i would agree, but to me, going for a reputable shop that guarantee result will be more safe.

everyone can cook a chicken, but you want it to be cooked the correct way and taste nice, it's another story..

let me put it this way... how to make people that don't know you brand think you're premium? sell at premium price. the best part they have people like you defending them

simple.

it's your money, i'm telling you that reputable brands don't even sell at those pricing, yet you think you're smart saying expensive stuff are good stuffs. anyhow there is an old saying " a fool with his money are soon parted", this might be the common mindset like you say, but it's never far from truth.

see the words i said and interpret it nicely..i said "testing it" judge it yourself.

reputable brand do not sell at those pricing is because they don't even make a high performance product anymore, looks like you dun understand what i am trying to hint in my msg..

i didn said expensive = good.. it's just your mind was twisted against me smile.gif

I dont vouch for all 3 brands above...

but... my RS audio Subwoofer is only 250Wrms, JL W7 is 1000Wrms
in the same box and setup...
RS sounds better than W7...
RS audio is 3x cheaper than a JL 12W7... at least when i bought it...
My point is... bigger Watts doesnt mean better sounding...
it only means you have a deeper pocket for a bigger amp, alternator, batteries, cables etc etc...

As for Soundstream and Kenwood...
Huge brand... not so huge in sound quality...
albeit Kenwood doesnt makes some of the best HU in the market today... but thats about it...

As for autocraft... its entry level stuff...
if you want branded... You could take a look at Focal Active subwoofer... 

As for recommendations of 1k Active subwoofer?
Why not do a proper sound proof of the front door?
Bass definately more natural than an active subwoofer...
both active woofer and midbass cant give big low extentions anyways...

never know you ever heard the sound of the focal sub, i wondering you refer to this compare to the autocraft model above , https://www.focal.com/en/car-audio/car-audi...losures/ibus-20

i can tell you...the AC sub win hand down compare to the F brand.

underseat active sub tech are all came from china, and even big brand are amazed with how they can make it better, that's why you will see now big brand has underseat sub...but way beyond the "reasonable price" than a china brand that mostly have a newer and better design by the rapid development in china.

not protecting any brand as i always stay neutral, but you should really test it before recommending will be better.
