Im just curious bc some people say they have the ability to get loud and some people say they are only an SQ sub and dont get too loud?

I've metered atlas and avalanch 15's in various boxes and the score was never all that impressive.

Honestly I don't think the avalanch sounds that good, I prefer the atlas.

oh, keep in mind if you do go with a bigger sub like an Avalanche, you'll want a larger amplifier to drive it as well. sometimes you're better off with a more sensitive sub, and less power to get nearly the same output up to a point and with less of a chance of needing to upgrade your charging system to get loud.

atlas 12 is the way to go!

for $100 in a 2ft^3 box with port tuned to ~30Hz, that atlas 12" should sound good and hit pretty hard. I mean we're talking about a $100 sub here. If he wants more though he can pay a litle more and go with one of their larger subs.

I'm going to sound like a broken record, but they're clearing out their inventory for a new product line due to a beef with the license owner for XBL^2 motor technology.
An Atlas 12" is $100. You can get a 15" for about $15 more if I recall. Anyway, you won't find a better sub at the moemnt without spending a lot moer money. That's the way to o. Fantastic sub. great SQ, and it'll hit quite hard.

they really dont get that loud

but very good subs... man do they sound smooth.

thats a sweet deal for a good looking sub.. I might have to look into ordering.. the only reason i might now go with that sub is because i don't really have access to a credit card or anything atm.

also you can get comp12's from elevation audio for that price and youll feel those with only 200 watts. id get a sound splitter 8 if i had the money i think they would be awsome

yeah Darthness thats a killer deal right now.

Could also go for an alpine type-r, or a kicker comp (vr)
