lol um RE's stuff isn't the cheapest at all. You obviously have no idea what you are talking about if you think that. The RE slime line sub is said to be the best all around sounding slim line sub by George Woo the owner of Atomic. And for a person who makes some of the best subs on the market to call another company's sub the best when he himself makes a slim line sub is saying something. For a single 12 the sub costs around 250 shipped lol. I know the pioneer can be bought for around 150 ish. The sub is by no way the cheapest and with shallow mount subs you really do get what you pay for.
