[QUOTE="blazian87, post: 8531127, member: 574798"] For $500 I would split it up as $300 on a sub and $200 on the amp, give or take. Do not cheap out on a crappy amp to save money. In the end you might end up spending more. I would ask around to see what people are offering. You might end up with a better sub than you thought. I would look at SSA Icon 15, American Bass XFL 15, Dayton Ultimax 18 (currently out of stock), PSI Platform 2 15, Fi Q 15. There's probably more that I can't think of. I have heard the HDS 12" with a SQ1200 and I was pretty surprised on how much air movement there was for a single sub. Some people like it, and some people don't. It's all subjective. You have to ask yourself what you're really looking for in a sub. When you move to the next tier of sub rms handling, it will require more power to get it moving. So it might be less efficient with power which will most likely end up hurting your output. I've never heard the HDC myself so I can't really comment on that. [/QUOTE]
