Thanks for the offer subzero but that is more sub than I need or can power. Also out of my price range for a new sub and WELL out of the range I would pay for a used one.
Will my amp give it enough power to even move? hahaQuote:

you don't "need" to have elventy-billion watts to power a subwoofer.Quote:

How much larger of a box would I need to go (I understand this will be a rough estimate at best) to compensate? Really not wanting to go over 2 cubic feet. I also live in the middle of nowhere and have no experience with any of the subs I am considering, hence my need for as much input from everyone as possible. I thought SA was the primary recommendation on other threads that I read before I began posting but now it seems as though the gcon has taken over. I hope all of the recommendations for them are from people that have actually heard them and not just people jumping on the bandwagon because it is new and cool. The Fi X does look appealing as well. So I thought I had all but decided but now it looks like I am back to square 1....
Had this.
WoofersEtc.com - EF-120 - CDT Audio 12" 600 Watt Single 4-Ohm Subwoofer
Great sub for the price.
i've heard that the Obsidian Audio 12 is a "SQL" sub.. i've been wanting to try a pair of 12's but i haven't been able to get my hands on them :furious:
Yeah those are one of the many that I am looking into. I think I am going to have to rule out the Gcon though, recommended enclosure is just too big. 2 cubic feet is the absolute largest I am looking to go and that is the very lowest they recommend and optimal is 2.5-3. Guess it will have to wait for another install. Seems I am down to the Fi X12, Obsidian D4, and DC level 2. I looked into all others mentioned and I just don't think they are on the same level (or will not work for me like the gcon)Quote:
