New member Username: ZtevenzPost Number: 1 Registered: Jul-05 | I am currently in the process of trying to purchase subwoofers. i amm not really interested in sq mostly spl. all i really care about is being heard in the next town over. i want the nass to travel. i am considering closely the Power acoustik mofo series. i was thinking of purchasing 2 12" subs b/c i can get them for $340 for both. But i have seen that many of you are big big fans of the resoant engineering xxx sub, however you only recommend 1 of these at a time or i will fry my battery etc. i honestly dont know what the cost of a 12" would be in the rexxx sub. so what will be better 1 12" xxx at 1600 rms of 2 12" mofo at 1000 rms each. also any other speaker suggestions would be appreciated as well as any suggested amps to run either system. |

The Mofo's will get loud, but will really lack SQ while not being very stable at the same time. RE's all the way. I'd suggest the SX btw. It's a louder sub than the XXX, at a cheaper price tag. |

Gold Member Username: InvainMichigan United States Post Number: 3054 Registered: Aug-04 | I personally dislike poweracoustik, from what I've personally listened to at least, but then again I haven't heard a MOFO, I just hope it's not as g@y as the name... The XXX isn't really an spl sub, and no, if you want to get as loud as possible, then it's not for you. From what I've experienced though, I know any Resonant Engineering stuff is gonna be better quality, and more reliable than poweracoustik. |
