I have narrowed my search to two subs.
Choice A - Acoustic Elegance AV12 - $150
Choice B - Dayton 12" Titanic MKIII - $159.66
I will be using a single sub in a sealed box in the trunk of a Civic Coupe. A Phoenix Gold X600.1 will be driving it. Just so you don't have to look it up - that amp puts out 600w rms at 1, 2 and 4 ohms.
Here are my thoughts:
The AV12 is DVC @ 2 ohms so I can run the sub @ 1 ohm. The xmax on this sub is unreal. I like the look of the aluminum cone.
The MKIII is SVC @ 4ohms so the amp will run cooler. I would assume the single voice coil will mean less mass to move and possibly better sound quality.
I spend 2+ hours in the car every day so SQ is very important. I am investing in an expensive CDT front stage driven by a Phoenix Gold X100.2. I want the sub to sound as good as my mids and tweets. With that said - about once a week I like to turn up the bass and get a good back massage. Don't worry - I live out in the middle of nowhere. That explains the 2 hour commute.
This is a tough choice for me. What do you think?
