been a big fan of elemental designs for a few years now, their equipment has nice n low thd, they run cool, and have a standard 5 year warranty. i had an 11.Ov2 in a lil box off a nine.2 amp, 400x1 @ 4ohms. hit nice & crisp, until i had to sell the whole setup to avoid the repo man

they are also pretty cheap. do you know how deep you can go with the 12's? also image dynamics macks an excellent sub, had one for a few years as well. hit like a ****** beast with 850wrms, over 110dbs in a small sealed box

xxxx 15's?! my god you are mad... can you still hear? when i used to be on audio forums back in the day, those were considered the holy grail...

the 5 year covers just about everything. they have a nice forum to chat with them. people have burned coils, taken pics of their setup and given an explanation, and they have em replaced. if they burn out due to usage, they get replaced. if they burn out due to clipping the crap out of em from overpowering or distortion from underpowering, then no. misuse and abuse is never covered usually, but they are easy to work with.

thats why i think it would be tight to hear his set up, because you probably dont see many people pushing that many watts that are running a sealed box. so it would still be loud as **** but still clean and crisp at the same time which dont usually go togethor

mainly because the box is so big. if it was facing back there would be no flow to the cabin. i will eventually seal off the box and gain quite a bit of volume. ill probably get to 150db once i do that

the amp made more power then 300 watts but all the equipment he had was at 4 ohms so it wasn't running close to full power

it was the us amp ax 5600 http://www.usamps.com/ax_amps.html
