[QUOTE="Warren89, post: 8085181, member: 647548"] As of Friday, after my amp narrowly escaped death at the hands of moron incapable using a cup holder properly, I decided it need a new home in the back of the van. I also decided that I decided I'd retune the amp. Not really sure why just felt like it. So I went about moving everything to the back and securing my amp. As it always seems to be, in the middle of setting the gain, company rolled in and started asking questions. In the process I forgot that the poor pioneers can only handle 2k RMS and I left them running at probably 2200-2300! Now when pioneer says 1k they mean it. They started smoking pretty good. They sound fine but I suspect they have sustained damages that will become apparent later. So basicly I'm thinking of getting rid of them and starting new. I like these subs but I'd like a little more SPL and a little more frequency range. I don't want to go down on sq though. Looking to stay under 2400 RMS as that's all my amp can push. I want to stay with one or two 12"s. I also need to stay under $500. I was looking at RE sxx12. Also, I'm looking at a set of image i61-2v2 comps. Are they worth the price. I have some pioneers and I find them lacking in mid bass and a little metallic on the highs. I'd like a warm but natural tone. Thanks for the help. [/QUOTE]
