[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8670946, member: 650438"] I second this. or a cheaper option is these CSS-SDX subs, still an XBL^2 motor like the adire brahma and its a bit more hefty and plays lows better and more efficient. [URL="https://www.parts-express.com/css-sdx12-xbl2-12-subwoofer--290-3006"]https://www.parts-express.com/css-sdx12-xbl2-12-subwoofer--290-3006[/URL] However you'll need to get used to undistorted bass. Your BL may sound nice but its not clean linear bass like a true linear SQ sub. With these xbl^2 subs there's heft and girth to the output and lows are amazing but you wont get that bang bang boom boom you are used to with normal subs, its a lot smoother all around, still shakes the living sh*t outta your car tho but doesnt have that usually smack in the face you are used to aka distortion (its inherent you just never knew it was distortion and thought it was normal bass) With these xbl^2 subs, you can definitely run two later on because they work amazing in smaller enclosures, definitely aeroported if you want decent output and you can always plug the hole and turn it into a sealed enclosure easily to see whats your preference. Shove some material inside to take up airspace and you will be good for sealed. [/QUOTE]
