Port-wars or Super Port-wars?

If superport, look for a 10" sub w/ a stiff suspension than can take some power.

You think that 1500.1 is enough power for a XXX?

Look for something with a high BL and stiff suspension, no need in getting a sub with a stiff suspension if it doesn't have the motor power to take advantage of it. You know my SSX has such a stiff suspension at any power level I could not bottom it out, I tried! Polo.. :-O

^^ im sure if you played a nice 20hz tone you could bottom it out at a high enough volume giving it like 2500 or 3k rms

i was looking for more than an SX.. used to run two.. if i wanted an RE SX 12" i can get them new for around $190... which is really starting to look like a plan to me consider price..

but i'd still like the idmax.. not sure how good it would be for port wars though :-)

the 13W7 was pending for $400 shipped unless you want to offer more.. send me an email or msg on aim.. frkkevin

email frkkevin(AT)yahoo.com

price range for the sub.. well w/e i can get for what i sell the W7 for.. i'd like to keep it at around $300 shipped so i have some kinda cash left to help with an amp later on

I found some 05 XXX motors for 120.. thought about rebuilding one of those
