Yeah, if I go with the Soundsplinters, it'd either be... + 1 12" Rl-P getting 800-900W ... OR... + 2 10" Rl-i's getting about 225-250W a piece I would have loved to go with the 2 10" i's in a sealed box getting 350-400W a piece, but I can't do that with the impedance on the i-series subs. Hmm.

For whatever reason, I was thinking the that Rl-i's were available in dual 2ohm VCs as well, though I see that they are only available in dual 4ohm config. Darn! At 4 ohm, 450-500w won't really drive 2 10"s very well. Thanks mrray13. Personally, I was partial to the 2 10"s setup, so I may have to go back and look at a few other subs (e.g. RE SE).

I'm currently coming from a setup consisting of 2 JL 12w3s in a ~7 ft^3 ported box getting about 400W each. I am going to use the same amp (providing about 900w RMS @ 2ohms). I am also going more for an SQ setup this time -- I want osmething that hits nice and hard, and I'm not too concerned about someting that'll make my ears hurt (okay, I don't want that anymore). So, here's the question: which would YOU prefer -- 2 10" i's or 1 12" P? I still haven't decided on ported vs. sealed yet, as I don't know how much less-loud a ported enclosure is, since I only have experience with my old, big ported box. If I do the 12" Rl-p, I'll probably go sealed, but may do either sealed or ported if I do the 2 10" Rl-is... Any insight? The semi-typical "go listen and pick the one you like most" doesn't work too well given that SS subs aren't sold in stores like other brands. Thanks!
