Well no, it wasn't this sub that changed my mind. If you'll note, I have had the ARC subs and component amp for a few months now, but never bought the subwoofer amp. It wasn't because I didn't have the money, it was because I knew I didn't want the ARC stuff, I just hadn't decided what to replace it with.

Oh and the price for the 32mm Eclipse sub...... about $125 shipped

I have noticed that. There is a lack of info, but I figure the manual will take care of most of what I need.

FYI, the techies don't know anything about their subs

I found that out pretty quickly.

Me: Can you give me the full T/S parameters for the SW8122.DVC, since I can't find any info on your website or the manual?

Tech: Hmm, sorry, we don't have that info. Would you like a box recommendation?

Me: Yeah, since I can't get the full T/S info

Tech: Hold on, let me type in the sub model into our box simulator program thingy....

The enclosure he recommended me turned out being around 1.5 cu ft net tuned in the mid 40s for a 12" sub. Riiiight. We ended up getting crap recommendations like that for everything, so we just started designing our own boxes.

Yeah I love my eclipse head unit, but the manual sucked. Thats why I figured out the EISERV stuff and wrote my own for ther people to use.
