yeah dude its like that down here in the south, too. Everything is skimp, overpriced and definitely not the quality im use to. It's really hard to find a steady source, too. I just bought 2 dubs for 60 bucks and they were both skimp, my friend said it was mids though. I mean it's not dirt but it's not that great either. hang tough man, im sure things will get better soon.
