Help me with a Choice

[vettelovr1124 10+ year member]

I got my choices for a subwoofer narrowed down to a few. First of all, I would like u guys to know that i want a bass system that will hit low and very hard for the money. So here's the choices: a Dual 12" Visonik Bandpass System w/ 300 rms per channel; a 15" adire tempest with a 2 cu. ft. box and polyfill; or a 15" K-series with a 1.5 cu. ft. box w/ polyfill. I probably will be running them on a Pyramid Power 1600 watt amp. I would like u guys to try to help me narrow the choices down by telling me which one to get and maybe why I should get it with possibly a comparison to the other choices. I would greatly appreciate the help.

Scrap the Visonik bandpass system and stick with either the Tempest or the K...I think "the gunner"(a guy on here) is in the same dilemna. Me personally? I wouldnt know which to get, I think the K would be my gem though.

Unless u care absolutely nothing about sound quality i;d go with tha tempest. if u just don't give a **** about SQ then go the visoniks in bandpass, but they **** SQ wise especially in BP.

yeah, i am not going to get a pyramid, but will a jbl 300.1 power a tempest enough to get it LOUD?. And, would i need a capacitor to run it because i heard from some people that you didn't need a capacitor with a jbl 300.1 amp. Also, could the tempest be put into two ohms?
