Actually looks like a very solid sub, though I wish they made dual voice models instead of single coil.

The Dayton Titanic Mk3 subs also also seem to be good as well

Yeah I would need 4 of these to get down to 1 ohm.

Giving each 400w rms, would equal out to 1600w rms between all 4 which is about what the 1500D puts out so I think it would be a good match.

I was reading how people were giving these 3.75 f^3 boxes though....so I might go with a 4.0 sealed between all 4 since it needs 1.0 sealed each.

Just keeping my options open at this time.

Got a link to the titanics?

Targeted more toward home audio I think

What aspects of the sub gave you that idea?

Well, it's the high output version rather than the High Fidelity version, so it's built for car audio use

I think the HO is more catered to car audio. I've been interested in the Dayton 10" subs for an SQ setup in my truck. The Fs on them is wickedly low and I think they'd respond in the proper enclosure in my truck. I built an isobaric push/pull that I believe a sub like this could shine in. Any well built low tuned enclosure could make this sub destroy the lows I believe. Parts express does have a Dual voice coil option for some of these subs also.

Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.

I only saw the 12" DVC option and it's only 700w rms. 2 of these for 1 ohm and I don't think these would handle my amp TBH.

These reviews are a lot more technical than sonic and other sites reviews. Like kids vs adults lol
