You are correct about these brands being unusually cheap. Although it may be cheap, when you actually end up using all of them, the sound will be ALOT more than what you expected. It's what happened to me, having to own a crap load of name brand stuff. MB Quart, JL audio, and so forth.... Right now you're entering the Do It Yourself world of audio. You'll realize a crap load of stuff will out perform famous names.. for a lot less.
