SA-12 vs. Obsidian 15" vs. SI recone

[solidcrowd 10+ year member]

I've seen plenty of vs. threads between OA, SA, and Skar. My situation is a little different though. I recently just burnt a voicecoil or something on my 12" SI Mag..It's going to cost just under $200 to fix.

SO my question is:

1.) Should I have it fixed ($140 +shipping there and back)

2.) Get a 15" Obsidian ($185.97) or Obsidian 12" ($164.98) if not enough airspace for the 15"

3.) SA-12. ($194)

I listen to mostly rap and rock, I would say I'm more of an SQ guy since I loved the way my SSA Icon (2.2cuft @ 33hz) sounded and SI Mag (2.5cuft @ 32hz)..but I do also like my music loud.

Wattage: 1,100RMS @ 4 & 2 Ohms (Alpine PDX1.1000)

Vehicle: Sedan 2004 Chevy Malibu.

Airspace: 2-3.5cuft

Enclosure: Aeroport

That SI Mag is a great woofer. But the SA-12 looks good too.

I would spend the money on a SA-12 now and save up to get the Mag reconed later. Maybe even spend some time learning how to do it yourself so you can save money on labor and shipping.

I will keep that in mind, maybe put the money towards one of the other options
