not many people choose to run them but for the money powerbass makes some pretty impressive products that hold up very well. a 3xl 10" rated at 750 rms is only $140 but im not sure about the 12s

Just to clear things up, the SA 8 uses a completely different motor and voice coil size than the SA 10, 12, and 15. The 8 uses a 2" coil and the rest use a 2.5" coil.

As to the original question, it depends on what you are after. If you want subs that are peak high you might look elsewhere than Sundown or Obsidian. However, if you want to play low, loud, and still sound good, Sundown or Obsidian subs are a solid contender. Also depends on how much power you have available, etc.

Power handling is not a power requirement! Don't install suckage!

Funny that the Sundown sa's, Obsidian's, and Skar's were all mention. Anyone have any idea what they have in common? Two of them are built and designed by Jacob from Sundown and the other has his touches all over the woofer. So... I don't think you can lose with any of them, but to throw my opinion out there the sa12's are going to be your best bet. I have 4 of them that will do 155's with god knows how much extra power on them then they actually take.

Ftw, I went with 2 fosgate p2d2's on a punch 500.1 amp. I already had fosgate power 6x9's and 6.5's so why not complete the system? oh and by the way, I liked all the sub's recommended, but i needed something I could have access to as a common consumer.

Thanks nick! I was hoping you or Jake would come in here and clear things up! That's what I thought! And your right man the sa's and obsidians just sound great and are loud as hell. You'll see me recommend them over and over because I know how great they are!!!! Plus their owners are the shit ;)

Pacos truck is looking sick! Keep up the good work
