Is it really that good? I havent heard any of the AA yet..

yes they are . i went up from a 149.7 to a 150.7 just by switching woofers.also the aa 's will hit better at lower frequency's than even dd.i have a dc 12 k on my 2 12's and doing 152's easy on a burp and 150's on music

When the DC rep recommends it over the XL, it's probably pretty good.

Best for what? You did not really say that much in terms of goals, power or space etc.

no ap amps.find a saz 2500 or something along that line,also yes what do you want from your sub stage ,how much area you got to work with

Mayhems are a helluva choice for sure, but i wouldnt overlook the Death penalties either. both are excellent drivers and take a massive amount of power

I'm looking at keeping the amp under 450. I am basically looking for hella loud. So lets say 1 AA smd in 5 cubic ft powered by a soundstream dtr3400? How would that do

I'm in no position to talk....at all, i'm a huge nut-huger......... but, try looking at slightly higher end amps.. AP, SS, IMO arnt very efficient, and you could get cleaner sound out of something with a similar price
