ok, first of all, im looking at the power referance subs on ebay, and all the ones they sell, they say are 200 watts RMS, 400 peak, and have the orange and blue memphis emblem, sign, or w/e in the middle. well on memphis's website, it doesnt show any power reference subs that have that emblem in the middle, all the power reference subs on their website are black and gray colored, and they say the power reference subs are 250 watts RMS and 500 peak, are these an old model of the PRs, am i getting a differnce type of memphis sub, anyone know whats up with that? My next question is which brand, i am getting 3 subs to hook up to a mephis PRD1000.1 amp, and i dont know whether to get memphis PR subs or RF punch stage 2 subs. im getting them off ebay. They are same price, with in 10$ of each other. The wattage of the puch stage 2s are 200, but all i hav heard is that they are underrated, and they can take 300 watts a piece easily. Do the power reference subs take more than than RMS, are they underrated? keep in mind on ebay they only ones i can get from memphis are the blue and orange PR subs, if they are in fact PR, and the sellers say they are supposedly 200 watts RMS. am i taking a chance geting the memphis subs, or are they just an old version of them. if they are, i would appricitate it if someone who owns them could verify the RMS wattage on them, and if they are underrated. Also any opinions on which sub would be helpful. thanks

 
i hate the p1/p2 so much. they dont have much sq at all. they arent particularly loud either. ive messed with a bunch. id take the memphis over them just because i have heard good things about them.
