[QUOTE="ciaonzo, post: 8623145, member: 607015"] I hear you, I had 3 of those as well as 3 of the 15W6 drivers. Everything you're saying may sound exaggerated to some but it's true. Efficiency was the reason for that performance. Light coils, tight gaps and softer suspensions. Those W6 drivers were only rated for 300w rms because they didn't need any more than that to get down. I ran my trios sealed on various Soundstream, Orion and Pheonix Gold amps and it was always the same story, loud and clean. You just couldn't get enough of it. Drivers are different now and power is cheap. Drivers are less efficient but they can way outstrip the W6 & W7 drivers, and by a lot. But they need that big power to do it and they don't usually sound good at lower levels because of the stiff suspensions. It's a trade-off, you just need to decide what kind of listener you are. Do you want to go HAM every song or do you want to get kinda loud once in a while? Lots and lots of good subs out there just figure out where you fit in and go from there. [/QUOTE]
