I was wondering if there would be a big noticeable difference between the 15" and 18" Avalanche. I have a car so I dont even know if I could fit an 18". Just wonderiing if its worth paying an extra $50.

you should be fine with the 15... the 18 will give you just a tad more SPL due to surface area and drop a little lower... but the 15 avalanche can drop plenty low

its rated at 800w RMS... dont be cheap and give it a crappy amp... get it a good quality amp pushing anywhere from 600-900 watts... you can push more though... im going to push 1100 form a JL 1000/1 to my 15 avalanche.

these subs can get loud with very minumal power though so thats why i say 600-900 not 800-900 ... depends on what you can afford.
look into JL, zapco, xtant, and other good quality amps... honestly id love to run a zapco referene 750.2 for i thinkk 570$$ but im running JL amps so im using the 1000/1 which i love also

I might buy used depending on how old it is and how much it was used.

so far id look into a kicker kx600.1 for like 270 ebay or an xtant 6.1 350 ebay ... you could try to get a used JL 500/1 for around 300 ebay.

there are other good amps out there as well

Hey Trevor or Shane, you can also look into CrossFire Mono Amplifiers. Im personally gonna push my Avalanche 15 off the CrossFire VR1000D amp. Its rated at 1000 x 1 @ 1 ohm tested at 12.5 volts. And 1332 watts rms with a higer voltage.

I paid $429 for my VR1000D from woofersetc.com and you get a 1 year warranty thru them. So its cheaper then you guessed. Check it out Trev. Im on AIM and i see you somtimes. im suleman36 on there and we have a similar system going but you have that escalade i think.
