what is the real scoop? i walked away from a set of the old ones on this site for financial reasons, because i can get the new ones substantially cheaper then they were offered here. was that a mistake? are the old ones superior over the new ones? I am looking to use (2) 8" Re Audio subs in a ported box with a Rockford Fosgate 800A2, which should be no big deal for them, but I m wondering if the new is just as good as the old or better, or worse.... thanks ahead of time
