Honestly obsidian audio is a new company so a the majority of the people on here havnt tried them. You really are not going to get a better sub for under $200. But I'm sure you would be happy with any sub mentioned on here. I just know that the OA's are very underrated at 600rms just like the SA12's are. And in my opinion they sound great and get loud.

Explain what you mean by that? Do you mean they can handle more than 600 or less? I've been doing some homework on this because I want to be sure that what I choose will work well.

My only other question, right now, is the dual voice coil /RMS equasion..

500 watt DVC sub: is that 500 to each coil or 250 to each coil?

Hey man sorry I didn't answer your question earlier, i work in dorms and today was move in day on campus and tonight was "helping paramedics haul a bunch of drunk kids to the hospital" night... Kids these days. But anyways I think nick answered your voicecoil rms question. But as the owner of the company he can't tell you how much or if the subs can handle more power... I can tho haha. I have a pair of obsidian audio 12's on 2000 watts rms, so that ends up being 1000 watts on each sub and I they do just fine! They are very similar to the SA series from sundown in the way that they are rated. Either the SA or OA will do just great

so far...

Sundown SA 12, you can get them new direct from sundown for $195 shipped I believe, and if you don't mind a Bstock sub (jacobs bstocks look brand new and have full warranty) the 12s run $150 shipped usually. Amazing subs, underrated on power and will get nasty loud in the right box.

What's everyone's opinion on JL Audio? I would have to guess, not a very good one...

I have a buddy who has a JL Audio 12" in a bandpass box and it hit pretty hard on my little amp

I was looking at this one:

http://creativecaraudio.net/products/productdetail/JL+Audio+15W0v2-4/part_number=15W0v2-4/3266.0.1.1.1982.71372.0.0.0?pp=12&

Although, I don't want to go bandpass...

Otherwise, I've narrowed down my sub to 2 choices...

I'd go with the DC level 3's or the SA 12's. It is about the best option for the price range. Also do not go with the JL so overrated for the money. You can get so much more for less.

Don't count out obsidian audio... If you say To go with an SA12 for the price then you've obviously never seen or compared an SA with an obsidian haha. The SA is known to get .5-1db louder, bit the obsidian is known to get a bit lower. So it just depends on which you'd rather have, not to mention the price difference. I have both btw

so far...
