Ya its actually a nice basket design cast alloy. I don't mind the cork gasket but would prefer a full one piece rubber that they said once we get to move some and need bigger orders we can look at doing that

The RA on the cone looks pretty cool, of all the designs you had, I think that was the best one. I can't see too many people wanting to buy subs with a bull taking a right on the cone...lol.

Can i have 2 12's with the shitting bull instead of RA? That would be reason enough for me to buy one!

My Thoughts:
Roarr - sounds like a junk brand; If I would see it, I would immediately think "Thump"
Fluke - Danger of copyright, Trademark infringements from Fluke Transport

NBS & WTF are culturally dated terms - yes they are en-vogue now, but they won't be in ten years. Just like "groovy" was en-vogue in the 60's it would be really lame to have a compnay named "groovy" now. You need a company that is timeless with the hope that your company will be successful from one generation to the next.

I vote for RA - Resolution Audio (not Roarr); it fits in well with other companies like DD, eD, and RE - the Acronym stands for something, and the name is classy and timeless.

Yet, if you are really sold on WTF, then you can make that a name for a specific speaker model. Models change from year to year, so to have a culturally specific model name is fine, because 20 years from now when that model is obsolete, and obsolete name is appropriate.

The double-stitched surround and basket totally say Kicker to me. The surround is harder to spot, and I know cast baskets aren't always proprietary especially with the smaller companies but otherwise looks like a nice woofer. I'd stick with RA too.

That too is my suggestion, just call it RA. "Resolution" may not be available as it has been used in car audio before. Just simply call it RA.

Ok so what is the general census on them image wise is this something you would pay $160 for the 12" shipped and $200 for the 15" shipped? Thats canadian, and they should retail for about $235 for the 12" and $299 for the 15" without shipping. Is it worth it by the looks? I can personal overlook the estetics if it is a great performer. Can you? And thats whos important.
