I heard they were around $900. And a supersub compared to the old XXXs. That's just gossip though, that's why I was asking about this craziness :)

I'm wondering what kind of motor they're going with since they dropped XBL^2 for this one. Haven't tracked rumors, anyone know?

dont know the direct price but list is 849 for the 12"

wow. they more than doubled the price for a single 12" sub.

how.. dumb.

I really can't justify spending close to a grand for any sub.. 13W7 or XXX. There's a line between the cost to design and build a quality product, and wholesale rape.. and I think RE just happily leaped over that line like a pole vaulter.

isn't JL alot closer to that line?

well actually the old xxx12 listed at 560 so its not really doubling but it is expensive.

ahh what do i care anyway... i'll probably never afford these. my next setup will probably dual SX's or one of IA's 06 lines.

did it? The XXX12 directly from RE was $369 plus shipping.

Anyway, yes the 13W7 is $999 list if I recall, but close enough really.. a grand is a grand, and let's step back and be honest here. It's still just a damned speaker.
It's not like we're buying a defibrulator here.
