[QUOTE="HHawk, post: 564648, member: 553164"] Okay, please take the time to read the following and then give me an answer. I currently have a 3 subwoofer system setup ( 3x MB Quart PWE 302's ) powered by a Rockford Fosgate 1501 BD amplifier. But after paying a lot of money for it ( stuff is expensive overhere in Holland ), I am verry disappointed with the subwoofers. Not only is the bass not as loud as I wanted it too be, also the sound quality is very disappointing (slow, distorted). Now after much consideration, I am going to purchase 1 or 2 new subwoofers, probably 12 inch in size. After doing some research and a lot of emaling, my decision came down to this setup: [B]2x Brahma 12" subwoofers[/B] And of course powered by my current RF 1501 BD amplifier. I will make the setup so it will run on 2 ohms. According to the RF 1501BD birtsheet it would deliver about 1700W RMS in total. So each subwoofer would get approx. 850W RMS. Now before going final with this decision, I would like to hear your opinions and considerations on this. And if you have a better idea or solution, please do share it with me. But please keep in mind the following things: - Subwoofers need to be fast (keep track with pacey bass) and the bass should be tight and deep/loud. - The music I mostly listen too is hardtrance, hardstyle and hardcore (for those who don't know these types of music, consider it as techno with a harder and faster beat). - I want to buy it directly from the subwoofer company, cause I live in the Netherlands and online webstores give me difficulties... I know it's a long a posting, but if you please would read it thoroughly before replying anything, I would be very happy. Thanks in advance for those who are willing to help me out here. And I am sorry if my English grammar isn't anything to write back home about... Regards, Michel / The Netherlands [/QUOTE]
