[QUOTE="DJSmooth245, post: 8681272, member: 646733"] Definitely not looking for a debate in the slightest. Just more helpful experiences like the one Blazian87 shared. That was very helpful and will be instrumental in picking the right sub. Also, theres no where near me that will allow me to demo these subs, let alone even sell them. Thats why im going online. Unless there are some little known hot spots around town that only this forum know about, There isnt anywhere. And by saying 1200-1700 i figured it was obvious, apologies I see now that it wasnt. 1200-1700w RMS. Have no idea what clamped is at all so I assume just 1ohm. Ive had a sub before in the 40s. Didnt like the fact that some songs I listened to, It just couldnt hit the lows. It almost sounded bottomed out. Granted it was a CVX12. Also, Ive read that SQL is a myth.
