I want to say noob, but I don't know you or how long you've been doing this, but I had a SSi10.44 powered by a modded PG ZPA0.3 producing ~900 wrms. Took all of it like a champ. I also have 2 SSi12.22's currently and am beside myself for trading them in the next few days. The sub I will be getting, I've wanted for a few years now and found one NIB, so I'm trading my 2 SSi's for what I owe the guy plus the NIB sub. I wouldn't hesitate to give my SSi12.22's 2k total. But then again, I know how to set things up properly, dd1 or not.
