compare them to another sub: jl w3, solobaric, re se?

For that price, if they compare to *any* of those, you should have sent the money 10 minutes ago.

I hear really good things about American Bass, mostly about the SPL they're capable of.

yea, but they are lower line. Im just curious.

 

[Raven 10+ year member]

Too true. I'd google for some reviews, but I doubt there'd be any.

They are American Bass's entry level sub. Ive never tried any of the subs Loki listed. They are similar to the Earthquake DBX (the black one's) subs in SPL but with a little better SQ. I bought them from an authorized dealer that sponsors on the splbassx.com forum (in a raffle actually). Ive seen them on ebay every so often they go for about $100 a piece.

thats for all the info. They just dont handle enough power. I would turn them inside out in this application
