Don't think you will just go into competitions and win left and right...in most Organized contests, the competitors know what they are doing...and have been doing it for longer than you have- just remember that. I've heard both good and bad things about the TDX...but one of the things I've heard is that it isn't as capable as some other woofers out there...

Go there and learn, find the people that seem to know what they are doing, talk to them, get to know things, just go in there wanting to learn instead of winning...it'll be better in the long run //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I see you are in NY..whereabouts? Hopefully you won't end up in my class come Competition time...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif Your 'nasty' ported box shall meet my 'nasty' wall //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Take a look at the eD A, RE XXX, Adire Brahma...all have high good SPL potential along with great daily driving abilities...

Not saying the TDX is a bad sub, as I've never heard one, but I've heard that there are more capable drivers out there at around the same price range...

I wouldn't plan on sending that 2000 watts to that sub for daily driving otherwise you will fry the coil(s). As far as competing, I wish you luck. There is a lot more to SPL competition than just having good equipment. You have to have a solid install (starting with the electrical system), enclosure can have a huge effect on output, deadening, and a lot of experimentation. All cars react differently to different setups. One small change to your enclosure might just make a couple decibals difference in your score. Having great equipment is a good start, but there is a lot more to it than that. Good luck.

You won't find Eclipse on the web. And if by chance you do they will not warranty the equipment. They have cut their prices drastically on the newest models though, so most people can afford an Eclipse deck at their local shop now.
