First of all that zapco amp is a 2k watt amp on a 500+ subwoofer
second, all of your enclosure figures for those woofers are wrong
third, those woofers need at least a week to break in which I assume your crew didn't do.
fourth, blaupunkt has very clean sound quality and can't be compared to spl material.
fifth, music equipment is just that equipment and are supposed to be used as such.....
if your tools are about to break..."back off" or suffer the consequences. We could take any brand of car audio and bring it to failure, but being an electronics tech, I've had to learn how to stop pushing the envelope with everything I've ever come in contact with including car audio amps, woofers, etc. If you like great sound, then blaupunkt is a very good clean audio selection, but if you want power....real power, that's not gonna be enough and even then you have to use it all correctly. I've found that even pyramid......"that's right PYRAMID" can soud descent if you install and use it correctly.
Lastly, all companies go through periods of ups and downs, especially when stocks are being sold out for shares. For one I've been down the blaupunkt road before and I like'm, but don't care for them anymore.......nothing wrong with them......just out grew'm.
Oh, and you didn't answer my question.......ever seen or heard the rockford TRF'S competition woofer?........
