I want to spend about 450 total on amp/sub

Spend a bit more and get an IDQ 15" (if space permits; using ported box) and a refurb. Lanzar opti1000.1D (about $215 shipped on ebay; gotta look for it)

Im gonna say a single Shiva and a 600.1 ...but you can change up the amp for sure. The Shiva is only $125...which leaves you some cash for a nice amp. Could almost get two Shiva's and get a pretty good amp off eBay if you wanted.

Out of curiosity, where on-line can the Shiva be found for purchasing?

ampman audio used to be an Adire dealer, but not anymore.

Also talk to 'jlaine' on the forum, he is an authorized Adire dealer.

get a dual 4ohm and wire it in series (total of 8 ohm). thats about 250 (a bit underrated) watts RMS. if not, get a dual 2 and wire it in series to get a 4ohm load. thats 500 watts you're getting. isnt' headroom nice? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Hey Ben, I know you get this a lot but how is the Backorder on the e12A's coming?

 

[SasquatchBump 10+ year member]

Alright. im debating between the 2 shiva idea and one e12a.

I havent heard either of these subs and the nearest Adire dealer is 400 miles away.

The shivas would be sealed and the A would be ported to eD specs around 30 Hz.

Obviously the Shivas will be cheaper but what will be the difference between the two options?
