C2 Audio Threatcon-2 vs Strato-12D4

[zooroadbaja 10+ year member]

I haven't found many reviews on the two. Looking to run 2 12s. Is one better then the other? I also found used Skam VVX12s V1 for the same price as the C2. Between 3 what would be the better choice?

Well for the price I'd grab the AT's since they're $95 right now

Is saving $30 worth it. I'm not really concerned about the price between the 3. Just want the best bang for the buck.

I've heard pretty decent things about the stratos, but I'm really impressed with what I've seen so far on the Threatcon 2's... Again, I haven't really heard bad things about the stratos. If it were me, after seeing the fairly promising reviews/videos so far, I'd try out the threatcons just to do something different.. I think they'll hold up to more than the stratos.

You'll be saving $70 for the pair and I doubt you'll see much difference in performance

What about the used skams?

The Skar VVX is the only proven woofer out of your choices... Haven't heard too much on the stratos and the threatcons JUST started shipping. Really, they are all probably a good value sub for ~$100. Me personally I would go with the proven woofer if I was ready to order right now.

Stratos for sure

Stratos for price/performance.

Threatcon has a much higher handling requiring more electrical

Vvx - if you want to support kevin.. no helping ya lol

Threatcon is my vote beast subs for the money

I'd get the VVX's, they'd probably hit hardest and lowest.

I'd go VVX too. I had a 12 for a while in 2 cubes tuned low and it was a beast. I fed it 900 daily and it took it like a champ. It's about the same sub as the Sundown SA and I'd put it over the C2 or the Strato.

Why do people always say this? The VVX and the SA are nothing alike, two completely different subs.

Op all those subs are basically on the same level, you honestly wouldn't hear much if a difference, if any at all, between whichever one you pick

Just go with whichever one you want
