An absolutley gorgeous looking sub. How much are they is my next question. Been searching for a place that sells them without any luck. 1500rms is freakin crazy.

Are they accurate though? I know alot of subs designed for that amount of power arent very accurate, but are crazy loud.

They go for under 400 dollars. You will not find a dealer, they are sold direct from the factory. You call your order in and they make the sub after you order it....sorta like those stupid fast food restaurantes.

They are very accurate. They hang with the IDMAXX in sound quality...really just about any sub on the market.

Im pretty sure I can run a dual single ohm or mono 2ohm load with that amp...or am I mistaken, I havent messed with it for quite some time.

from my experience, an all around SQ AND SPL sub is their SX line, the XXX line is more SPL (more bass, not quite as accurate)..the SX line is a daily-driver sub that will do whatever you ask of it. I would put in the same as a 10w7 from JL The XXX is ~7" depth. they are not terribly DEEP mounting subs, the prices fluctuate in the motors of the sub, etc. Bama350zMD

Hell the SX series is still 1000rms, that would do me plenty.

I do not think PG recommends it. I highly doubt the power supply in those little amps can handle 2 ohm bridged without showing the genie smoke of death

well guys I think Ive decided on the 12" sx series. I think the xxx would fit, but its just more money that I wont use because I would wind up starving the thing its entire life because I would NEVER push that much wattage through it. like I said before 1000rms is more than enough considering Im only barely pushing 600 through my vega and it overpowers the stock componets (the diamond hex's will take care of that though.)

Thanks for all the input, its much appreciated. Ill post pics of the final install when I get the sub. Going to take a pic of the custom box next saturday or so with the CV in it and post it.

No not yours. The link that Ahsmo posted...#30. Hes either joking, or I pissed him off somehow, one of the two.
