yes I totally agree with getting the midbass upfront where it will sound a hundred times better and even out the front stage.

to far for me otherwise id go.

personally no I havnt, but for the price of the line 7 series subs you could do alot better with Fi

place pillow over face gently apply pressure

http://www.almaniaudio.com/ seems like they sell a bit of everything

I buy 90% of my music (CD) and a stamped cd will retain better quality than a burned one

depends on alot of things. I would suggest either running a dual alt set up or bumping to at least a 140amp or higher alt. at .5 ohms the 1500 likes to sucka da juice

congrats on your first place.

nice hair tricks, your van pounds.

10 to me is better, but I tend to over size a bit for peace of mind.

yes 10 gauge will be fine.

at least 12 gauge 10 is better

heh well ya there are to many variables to definitely say this is louder than that in this combo or that set up. but I would rather do 1 15inch sub than 2 10inch subs. but thats just me you might like the sound of two 10's better. now for the brand icon or fi bl either or are great subs with the right tweeking. DD to me sounds hollow but everyone has different tastes.

just off the top of my head your comparing a 18inch to a 15inch... with this said - apples and oranges.
