Aside from being a dealer, tell me why you would get a pair of shivas for 250+shipping over a pair of e12k's for 217 shipped. My amp and enclosure is set, and I will only be able to give the shivas 800 while the e12k's would get 1200rms.

My personal opinion would be the e12ks...but I'm not Josh...

Very few people have heard the new eK12's, including Josh, I beleive. You'll have to wait and see. 99.9% of all the reviews for the K series have been for the older model, which arae completely different.

800 is MORE than enough for a pair of shivas... WAY more than enough IMO...

I have yet to audition the new e12k, so I can't comment... Ben is a very close friend of mine and I'm quite sure it's an excellent product, I just need time to get my hands on one...

Aside from that, the shivas would be 250 shipped from me, as we cover shipping.

My only suggestion is that if your enclosure is under 1.25 cubic feet per chamber, to look elsewhere, as the shiva really needs that much space to sound good to me...

hey josh...how much sealed airspace does a 12 brahma need to maximize sq without sacrificing spl? and how much would 2 of them be shipped? also, what wiring configs do they come in and how many watts would u recommend sending to each 1?

Dan already informed my the shiva would be great for this app., but Ben also said the k would be great too.

Sealed? Give it 1 cubic foot net and you are golden... SPL wise, you may like to try porting them, they do sound quite good, and the output gains considerably.

A pair would be 738 shipped, they are 369 each and I cover all shipping costs...

Dual 2 ohm coils, personally, I'd suggest anything between 400-1000 each for daily driving/listening.
