you can get rockford stuff cheap on ebay as well as some venders here. and id say you deff get more then just the name. but every brand has there entry level and high level stuff u cant by prime thinking your a boss. i went with power components and 6x9s and am very happy. so id imagine there subs are the same idea. only down side to rockford subs is there not as easily reconed as compared to a sundown or similar. as far as an honest review the only thing i can add to this is i purchased a sundown 8 for my dad for xmas. its really beefy very sexy and pics online dont do them justice
