[QUOTE="magnanimous, post: 6739429, member: 620228"] Upgrading my Subwoofer system soon, from my TMA 1000w and 2 JL W3 V3 (12''). I have one PDX amp, want to set myself up incase I need to save space, I can stack them, so I want to get one or two for my Sub/subs. Found 2 600w PDX's for $400. My Alpine 8886 and processor h701 have only 3 preouts, but can I still run 2 mono amps to two seperate subwoofers?? How exactly? From my understanding, I cannot combine them to power one sub, so thinking Id get one sub now, box it, and box up another sub later on. which leads to my next question... Found a Utopia sub, that runs at 950w rms according to the guy selling it on craigslist, its 15'', the discont 37x. Wouldnt be able to run it at its fullest with one PDX 600,but still sick, right? He wants $500 for it, I can pick it up locally, and its used without a box. or Theres a guy selling a pair of 16" Polykevlar K2 subwoofers on eBay, RMS 500w that would run with plenty of power on a PDX. would only get one for now, but it would be easier for me to pick find another one someday because they arent discontinued like the Utopia. $700 each shipped, new, no box or warranty tho. I want great, longlasting, subs that I wont have to upgrade for a long time. I force myself to always buy the best shitt, especially for my music. my question is How much greater is the Utopia sub over the Kevlar? Or is the kevlar, being a 16 inch and running at rms, going to hit harder, clearer, and or deeper assuming I build a box to specs for either one? ANybody heard either or both of these subs running? Im a dude on a budget here trying to get the best sound for his $. And Focal stuff gets me hard Which route do I go guys? thanks--first time poster -Devin [/QUOTE]
