A properly made stamped steel basket can be just as good as a forged aluminum one. Plus it's considerably cheaper to make. Just doesnt have the "bling" factor.

If you're gettin the Stroker's for $250 then you, sir, suck. The Treo's would run way more than that; so they're out.

Up to a certain point, you are absolutely correct. I'm not aware of any forged baskets, but there are plenty of cast baskets. ANyway, at some point, aluminum baskets do have some serious advantages in heat dissappation and rigidity. I would certainly avoid a sub with Brahma like excursion claims that used a stamped steel basket.

Yeah, cast aluminum.
And Steeda, those W3's have stamped baskets.

I wouldn't get any Comp sub witha stamped basket! unless you where only competing SQ or had alot of non High Excursion subs.
