I have narrowed it down to these two subs because they get loud and still maintain good sq. I will be giving the sub/s 500 watts rms. Would I be better getting 1 15" Avalanche or 2 12" Atlas? I listen to mainly rap so I want some good spl, but I also listen to rock so I want a little sq. Any suggestions would be helpful.

go with the avalanche, i like a 1 sub setup and you will only be gaining 3db more than 1 atlas than with 2. So there will not be that much of a difference.

The avalanche will work really well with 500 watts and will get loud and have great sq at the same time. much better choice IMO

it all depends on the type of amp you have also, if it is a 500 watt pyramid amp it will not even move the avalanche.

I don't have an amp yet but I will be getting a fairly good amp that can put out a true 500 watts rms. Do you think I would be better off getting just the one Avalanche? What amp do you suggest?
