Looking for something for my wife's car and saw these:

http://www.woofersetc.com/p8144/REFTM122--Image-Dynamics-12"-Dual-2-Ohm-OEM-Tidal-Audio-Subwoofer.htm

Was mainly looking at going Phoenix Gold in her car, but these are interesting. Anybody know where to get specs of have experience with them? Her box is 1.2 sealed, and she only has 150rms@4ohms, so I am looking at efficiency.

It says dual 2 ohm, which you can series for 4 ohms...

I have one on the way for my wife's Mustang... but it will spend a week in my HHR "breaking in" on my Orion 2150GX first while I go on a business trip! If it works out, I will let you guys know soon. Hopefully it will make it Friday, as I am leaving on a company trip Sunday and will be driving 6 hours each way... should have time to put it through it's paces!

limited quantity get them while you can. even though the specs may be the same doesn't mean same woofer. back when the JL w6 was first released i bought some Cadence subs with the EXACT specs as the JL.

These are built by image Dynamics, and every spec is an exact match, so if they are not the exact driver, I am sure they are going to be great for $79! Mine did not make it in time for my business trip, it will arrive while I am away, so the report will have to wait until I get back next weekend and get it installed...
