SW of Brahma Vs. Crystal

[lombardo 10+ year member]

I've made up my mind on either Adire Brahma 10 or Crystal CMPx2 12. I'll be powering these with either a rockford 1500.1 of a jbl 1200.1 Which of these would be best? I'm looking for best SQ. I listen to techno, trance, and hip hop/rap with fast beats. Which combination of these would be best?

Does anyone have a link to Crystal's home page? I've been searching for it and couldn't find it. I wanted to see the specs. All I could find was a review by a magazine.

That being said, I did notice that the Brahma has quite a bit more linear excursion. I'm very doubtful that the Crystal sub could even touch the SQ of the Brahma. Unless Crystal has done some unique things to the sub, the Brahma will probably have less distortion at any listening level. But that assumption is not based on anything until I can see some more information about the other sub.

Thanks! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

Wow, their numbers on their site are way off compared to what was measured by a magazine. Here's the review. Xmax is almost half of what it's rated at. I'm rather disapointed that they didn't supply any more info about the sub on the web site. I can't see any reason why the sub would go for that much. Does anyone know why the high retail price?

I still think the Brahma will anihilate that sub in output and SQ.
