IA vs Memphis

[XplorerL7 10+ year member]

Hey guys. I'm in the process of designing a nice little daily driver system for my Explorer. I was planning on running 2 12" Memphis Power Reference's ported, around 2 cubes per sub ported to 32-35Hz. I've been reading around and Incriminator Audio interests me, especially the 187's. How do the 187's compare to the PR's or any other main stream entry-level subs? If I do run the 187's they will see like 1.5 cubes a piece ported to 35Hz with about 600 watts to the pair. Any comments? Thanks a lot.

hmm..... i dont use the PR subs very much but they are pretty nice for the price you pay for them.

i also have never dealt with IA so i cant say which is better. but personally memphis is some of my favorite subs

if you want to go a step up from power reference i can get you a used pair of HPO subwoofers for 200 + shipping for a set of 12's

I've never dealt with Memphis but I do run IA right now. Let me say this, if the 187's are anything like the LI's you will want to 187's! I love my LI to death and would love to play with some 187's. I say IA but I think everone knew that was coming...lol

Thanks for the offer on those HPO's but I'm getting an awesome deal on these PR's.

I've seen IA around here a few times and they interested me, more than any other internet company to be honest. I just wanna hear these 187's or at least hear a few reviews. I checked out IA Forum and it didn't have much info. But I hope someone who uses them comes along. They look awesome and they are in my price range.

187s are like $85 + ship ea. for 12s and the LIs are 145 + ship each for 12s. The price on the site is MSRP, not actual selling price.
