Difference between Boston's G2 and G5?

[spnkysprky 10+ year member]

I was in the process of shopping and decided to go with less power than I

previously intended.Trying to avoid Buying HO alternator and what not,so Im

eliminating my rockford fosgate punch 150 limited edition amp(capable of 1000 watts mono) and

going with the Classic Punch 200 x2 DSM for subs and The punch 4080 for my

mids/highs.The punch 200 I believe is capable of 500 to 600 watts mono @ 4

ohms.Very clean power.My question is,what are the sound differences between

the 2 models of BA's?The G2 are 300 watts RMS each(I will be using 2 -10 inch)

and the G5 are 450watts Rms.Both require the same amount of airspace and

both have the dual voice coil option.Do you think there differences are minor or is

there a major sound quality difference.I can see no difference other than watts

but I have not listen to both.Any ideas? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

Only thing in common that I can see from the pictures is the cone.

2 completely different subs.

I have not heard the G2, but I can say that the G5 sounds great.

Well whatever,I just quickly looked at subs.I didnt read in detail because Most of boston's lines are exceptionally good speakers.I just wanted to know from someone who has listened to both.Is there a great deal in sound quality diffence?Im not looking to blow away the "competition".I just want a quality sub thats worth the money.If I have to buy the more expensive one,I will.

I haven't heard either, but I was just judging from the pictures that they didn't share much in terms of hardware. Didn't mean to come across as harsh //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Nevermind,Im just gonna go with the G3 series.Its close to the G5's performance It was designed for quality just like the G5 but for smaller amplifiers according to website.

d a m n,the G3 and G5 are almost they same price...I might as well just get the G5's!So I guess I answered my own question
