Thanks for the info. I usually dont stray to far away from rms. I dont have enough money to keep replacing stuff that I break. I am gainfully employed but not as gainfully as I would like. Plus my wife doesnt share my interest in car audio. The guy said he was clipping pretty bad. My first instinct was to ask him why he didnt fix the issue but I just wanted to get my subs and burn out. Tested the voice coils with a dmm. 4.4 ohms on one and nothing on the other. I bought them knowing I had to recone one and assuming I would have to recone the other so Im not too bummed. Im planning on picking up a good 1500.1 amp to power these. I already have a 140 amp alt and 1 awg in the car. Going to shoot for a 4 cu ft box tuned to 35 hz but due to my small trunk opening that will have to be built in the trunk. But thats for a different thread.

Picked up a pair of sa-12's yesterday. One is already prepped for a recone. The guy told me the tinsle leads were starting to seperate on the other one due to clipping. I have never heard of this happening. Is there a way to check this? I inspected it to the best of my ability and everything looks to be in good shape but I am not an expert.

Sorry I assumed the sa line would be getting these also. Guess Ill start searching for a set that needs reconed.

Please dont misunderstand my post. I think sundown makes the best woofers on the market for the price. And the price is very very good. The main reason why I asked about the price is my wife keeps a pretty tight leash on me when it comes to money. Which is a good thing (if your reading this jessye) because I would have a kick ass system but we would be completely broke. I was planning on upgrading from my cvx's to a pair of sa-12's but then I saw this thread and was trying to decide if I should just wait till the new setup is released or just buy the old style sa's. If the difference in price is not that much then I think I will wait.

Is this going to effect pricing at all? I dont mean to be a cheap ass but I am getting ready to sell off my current setup to pick up a set of 12's but if this isnt going to effect cost I will probably wait till they are released.
