2 Shivas or 1 15"SX?

I already have one shiva sitting in my room. I was about to order the SX when the thought accured to me to get another shiva and save a little money. Whichever option I go with will be getting 900wrms. So which would you go for?

I wouldnt know which would be a better option for you, however if you want a 15 SX I have one up for sale. I am only say.... 120 miles from you.

Well, not to decide which one you should or shouldn't get... but i highly doubt that 2 Shivas will be OK with 900 watts...

They're rated to handle 600 each.

They're rated to handle 600 each.

Are you sure?

Hmm... iirc my MK IV is 300 RMS isn't it?

Does anyone have any suggestions for the original question?

Oh, and I'm thinking a SQL setup tunned to around 30Hz for the SX, and I haven't given it much thought on the shivas but something simaler.

Shivas are very, very nice sub. If you can port them, I'd go with that option.

hmm...well they were rated for 600wrms, mine might have been the MK III or sometihng idk.

EDIT: http://www.adireaudio.com/Files/OldAdireDrivers.pdf p-max...is the peak or what?

Shivas are rated at 375 watts rms

when i had my shiva last year on 400 rms it was way loud , I wish i still had that sub

I was just playing some test tones I just downloaded and with like 50 watts or so from an old denon amp it shock the upstairs and sounded very good. I'm just worried about it not being able to handle enough watts. The new adire site says 300, but it used to say 600, your saying 400, and the pdf says something siffernt too. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif And I have 900 at my disposle, so should I go for it?

Or the SX?
