Why? Because your mix matching subs, Why wouldn't you spend $10 less and get the sub that matches the one you already have?....

And it's just a cheap 8...

why the **** is everyone so rude all the time

bc everyone has addressed this before.... car audio is THE BUSINESS around here and serious guys hate to see things being done wrong. If nothing else mixing stuff looks like crap. Not knocking your equip, but you get what you pay for, p1's, 8's especially, dont get real loud. dont take it to heart too much, just take their advice as you can afford to. Unless you miss their sarcasm, they usually wont steer you wrong.

quick question, is it neccacary to always match brands, like could i put my 15in sub in with a 15in sub of same brand, just a p1 and other would be a p2 people say to match them, would that be ok?

using mismatched subs (size/brand) has been addressed numerous times. a simple search wouldve found you answers. and you should kno your not gonna get a ground pounding setup out of a MA audio 8 and a P1 8. Not knocking 8s as theres some beasts out there (sundown SA8s, DD 1508) but those 150 wrms cant put out that much.

nah man. the subs need different power and have different specifications. one might sound good off of a certain amount and the other might distort. one will hit differently than the other and the mixture is bad. Just keep both subs identical.
