[QUOTE="zako, post: 7498226, member: 629735"] I haven't heard them, but there is mixed evidence on the HOs. Some say they sound fine sealed if you throw lots of power at them. Others say, they sound best in ported box. The sub reportedly sounds very well. This has been measured by ear and test equipment. Just remember that they're relatively low sensitivity drivers, but you can put them into ridiculously small sealed or ported boxes because of it. I was looking into these as well as Infinity Kappa, ID IDQv3 12, Dayton HF (dual 10, sealed), and Peerless XXLS 12. Eventually, I jumped the gun on Infinity Kappa 120.9w because it seemed to be some kind middle ground in terms of power requirements, box size requirement, excursion capability, and not to mention its low price and the sub cone looks very pretty. It's rated for 350watts RMS, but sounds good being driven by 250watt amplifier. It's well built. I have little doubt it can easily take 600watts RMS because at 350watts, it should be like 6 mm below its xmax capability playing in 20-30Hz region. I don't really know how it compares to the above, but I am quite satisfied with SQ: very clean bass with fairly detailed texture of sound, good integration with midbass. This was apparent right after I switched to it from a RE SRX sub. It can get louder than I need. Enough to rattle things on my trunk, which was supposedly sound proofed. [/QUOTE]
