Planet Audio BB1250.1 on ebay is under $200. AIM me if you are thinking about picking one up though.

If you're not opposed to refurbs -- these are butt-ugly IMO, but it's hard to beat the watt/dollar ratio. Comes with a 1 yr mfg warranty too.

You've heard from idiots.

Outside of a few revisions it's the same basic board design that's been around since ~'00.

they do roughly 1200 rms at 1 ohm.

hifonics brutus, memphis power reference, or us amps xterminator series . you can get all those amps in 1000 watt or greater models at really good prices.

Same subs were used with each test. Very BIG audible difference. The only line that LANZAR makes that's worth buying is the OPTIDRIVE line. PERIOD.
