I would get them but I'm broke now. The rubi 2500 puts 1700rms @ 2ohms. So that should be good right?

Should be good for the price. Here's one for a decent price

Personally I would look for another amp. I had the Rubi 2500 before and although they seem to do rated they get hot as hell and I only had mine set to do 1000 watts rms with a dmm (voltage around 13 volts when full tilt). I also have the new reference series soundstream amps for my component speakers and let's just say I will never own another soundstream product again. They don't seem to be the same quality that they use to be. Just my opinion

What do u recommend then?

Depends on how much you're willing to spend. What's the budget?

I bought an E 5 a couple of years ago and was playing it and the voicecoil former split in half it just ripped. The second one they gave me leaked all around the surround and they sent me some glue but it never really worked well. I have had all the subs out there and have never had one rip like that on the coil and the leaky surround was the second ED sub I had do that the other was another model. I would be careful maybe I got the 2 ED lemons on the E5.

If they mess up ill just have em reconed. How much was u running? Curious cause I haven't seen an actual rating yet

 

[DFW40 10+ year member]

I was running 500 watts when that one tore or broke. How much for a recone and where do you get it done? Thanks

 

[babsuhl81 10+ year member]

Not sure on how much 2 rebuild it. Splaudio does it and every1 says he is the best. Some of his subs look bad a@#

Finally got these in a box. Its L ported. The box is kinda crappy. But they sound decent. Box is about 2.6 cubes for both. They hit real low(late night tip). I was surprised for 10s
