hey, thank you everyone for all yalls help! im seriously considering RE's right now. the RE12's were quoted to me $76, with shipping. and the SE12's, for $185 with shipping. i know there is a helluva difference there, so right now im just deciding whether i want to have bragging rights also, or just pure sound. my question now is, IF i get the SE12's, what amp should i get? will one do the trick? or should i look into gettin 2? and which brand/model? i appreciate everyones help. thank you all again!!
