[QUOTE="Biggg Willy, post: 518625, member: 556218"] Hey guys, Right now, I have a good (IMHO) sounding system that i'm quite happy with. I've got Alpine CDA 9811, four Infinity 5002i, one Infinty 310a, and a 10" infinity 1030w. I very much like the way it sounds. My concern is this: I am worried that the single voice coil sub is not going to last. I have heard many stories of SVC subs going south at around 3 months of use. I don't listen to my music at ear-bleeding levels, infact, you can barely hear the music outside the car. So, I was looking at DVC subwoofers. Specifically, ones with good musical qualities. My local dealer suggested I go with an Eclipse 10". I can't rememeber which one exactly, but it costs $199 CDN, and would be a (parallel) 2ohm load. But, I just checked out the Shiva on the internet, and one can be had for $149 CDN. I've known about the shiva for about 5 years, and its always been a highly regarded sub. I'm not sure what the impedance of the shiva is when its wired in parallel, but i'm pretty sure its not 2ohm.
