Opinions on Obsidian subwoofers

I understand I'm in the wrong section of the forums. I had a post earlier but it was answered so I thought I would "recycle" my post rather than spam it elsewhere. If a mod wants to move it, please do!

But, has anyone on the forums had experience with Obsidian subwoofers? I have the opportunity to buy a single 15" in custom ported box.

I would like to know if they're decent quality subs for SPL on approx. 1200w.

I have two 18s and i like them, they play low and hit hard. I dont think u will get a lot of spl out of them more of a musical sub.

Are they? A kid that lives near me said he really likes his and it "digs deep". Seems like they don't require much power for being a 15".

I ment spl for competing, the definitely get loud. When i think of spl subs i think of 3 or 4 inch coils that can handle many thousand watts.

No, I understand. That's what I meant also.

i was thinking about buying some 18's from them, but they where quite rude, plus the customer support wasnt the best. I asked how much power can their subs handle realisticly, they said 600. i replyed with if i gave it 601 watts, it would blow? answer? yes. LOL kk

they get loud easy

So 1200w should really get it going? Obviously I won't go full bore on a ~600w sub but it should really move it.
