[QUOTE="Strakele, post: 6795708, member: 601455"] Thanks for all the comments! Like I said, I don't know much about the lower end RE stuff, and apparently mistakenly assumed the newer stuff was better. If the older series was better, that'd be fine too. I just chose the RE originally as it's cheap and supposed to be pretty good SQ. Definitely open to other options though. I originally planned on a single sub to not take up a lot of space. Plus I figured that Alphasonik probably doesn't quite do rated. I'll talk to her about how much space she's willing to lose for an enclosure. It'd be nice to be able to use the T/A on her head unit. If there aren't any good cheap components that can be bi-wired, then we'll definitely go with a 4-channel amp instead with 2 channels bridged to the subs. I'd probably just give her my MB Quart DSC4125 and pick up the Diamond D9 800.4 that someone is trying to sell me. That would leave a bit more money and a lot more wattage for the sub(s). 500W at 4 ohms vs 300W at 2. How does the RE *** compare to the SE? Same story? There's a gazillion 12" subs in the 500W category. I'd like other recommendations for cheap components that can be bi-wired. If nothing in the $100 range, we'll just do the PG RSD's [/QUOTE]
