I have the much beloved Shiva-X2 for trade. Anyone that knows about this sub, knows it's great. I'm looking to downsize my power requirements as the Shiva loves the juice, I'd recommend around 1500W. It hasn't been abused and is in great condition except for one tiny nick on the surround, I tried to get the best shot of it I could. It doesn't affect the sound at all. If I were selling it, I'd do around $200 shipped to give an idea of what I'd value it at.

What I'm looking for: A 12" sub that will bang hard in a 1.5-2.0 cube sealed box on 500-1000W. NOW CONSIDERING 2 10's that will be happy in 2 cubes or less on 100W or less.

I have references under this name on ebay, bought from Mitch86 here and talon on CACO.

One of my fav subs ever. But I think if you worked on a new box design you could get that shiva to wrk hard with only 500-600watts. Yes, it can take 1500 but I have also seen them used with way less power and in a proper box got loud as ***. Friend has 1 in a t-line on a 500watt plate amp and its just crazy. nonethless great sub here. GL seller

 
What voice coil config is it?
dual 2
I'll consider the Infinity but don't know much about them, need to research. And I have no doubt the Shiva can get loud, I had it running HT duty for a while on 500. But I have space restraints in the trunk(in other words: wife wants space in there) so sealed is almost a must.

the infinity wont handle too much over its rated 375 RMS , but is a very nice sounding sub. my brother owned a perfect 10.1 and honestly i havent heard a low powered sub hit double bass kick drums with as much accuracy as that perfect 10.1 , everybody knows how i like to pimp out the SSA's around here but my dcon's don't hold a candle (havent tried them sealed though) to the accuracy that perfect 10.1 had. i had a chance to buy a pair recently and am regretting not doing it now. Best sub infinity ever made IMO.
