I know Directed is affiliated with Orion, Polk, Precision Power and Xtreme, but how do the Directed line of subs stack up? The reason I ask is I have seen the SX10D4 for $90. Is this a good deal???

That's like asking is it vanilla-flavored crap or strawberry-flavored crap?

I'll take that as to mean they are crappy equivalents. LOL

So defnitely nothing worth trading my Phoenix Gold Xenon subs for, right?

I agree with strawberry flavor. The Directed Studio series however was well worth your money @ $500. Now discontinued due to low sales :(

Low sales led to Strawberry flavor subs . . .

The Orion HP10d4 and D2 are really great though.

Okay...now I'm confused, at $500 they were well worth the money and now they are crap? Are they low selling subs because they don't perform with a crap or were they just overpriced???

Sorry for short cutting my text.

The SX are crap.

The Studio were fantastic but discontinued due to low sales because of high cost.

The HP10D2/4 are still available and won't let you down.
