[QUOTE="SaulTurnedPaul, post: 342101, member: 551079"] I'll check them out. So you ran it before with a 140W Orion, did you notice any problems when turning the sound up or for bass-heavy songs - like did the sound cut out if there was a shortage of power? What happens when a sub is underpowered? I know in traditional home speakers when you underpower something it does damage to the amplifier of the signal and to the speakers themselves, but does this hold true with car audio? I've heard of only Elemental Design, BA, and Eclipse. I'll have to read up on the others. I'll stay away from Sony and Bazooka because I've heard very similar things - that they ****! In the end, whatever gives me the most bang for my buck is what I'm going with. Afterall, its a Malibu, not a RSX.
