[QUOTE="donpisto, post: 3640618, member: 568577"] Out of curiosity, what is the reason for some of you saying you won't pay that much for a brand new driver? First, there aren't many drivers that cost so little. It's brand new with warranty for $250? Where else will you find that good of a deal? Second, just because it's rated at 1,000w doesn't mean it is wimpy (if that's what you're thinking). To reach a Qtc of .707, it all depends on the enclosure size. The larger size enclosure you have (sealed) the more power the driver will need. If cost is also an issue, take a look at the SI Mags, they will be xbl^2 drivers and I highly doubt seeing their prices dropping. I don't know how much a mag sells for, but I've seen several USED one's sell for around 300 here on the forums. More power handling and providing more power to a driver doesn't mean the sub isn't great. Wouldn't you prefer to have a driver that requires less power so you don't have to buy a more expensive amp? As mentioned, the Brahma's were also xbl^2 drivers and those got loud and sounded good. I'd definitely be up for a driver at that cost, so I'm curious as to why some people are against it. [/QUOTE]
