[QUOTE="johnwohl, post: 8636011, member: 589014"] I dunno, I keep seeing awesome reviews for sub $200 subwoofers and sub $200 amps making thier rated power and then some, so I thought maybe the price/performance gap had closed a bit. For example, what kind of performance difference are we talking between an new NVX 12" and the aforementioned DD sub everything else being equal? If the NVX sub is $130 and good, but the DD 3512 is $400 and going to crush my skull in comparison, by all means I'll take the DD. However if the same comparison is made and the DD is better but not $300 better, than I'll go for something cheaper, know what I'm saying? I bought the JL 12w6v2 new, and it was NOT cheap, at least for me, but it was a very good sql sub at the time, and same for my amp. If there would have been something cheaper that performed nearly as well that I had been aware of, I probably would have gone for it. Aware of being the key as the shops around here only stocked the mainstream brands (alpine, rockford, jl, ID, etc). Also, do I even have enough power for the DD? Ive only got 1300 watts at 14v @ 1 ohm and only a 140amp alternator. [/QUOTE]
