Only one that I'm familiar with is the Magma12. In its day it was an impressive sub... One of the first high-excursion (13mm), small-box subs I ever encountered. Got hella low, and hella loud. It also had an optional passive radiator you could buy for it. Nowadays it doesn't really stack up as well with today's available drivers, and the MSRP is still pretty high on it... I don't know much about their other products, and their website doesn't seem to offer much insight other than basic parameters and pics.

 

What are you looking for in the woofer? SQ or SPL. I have experience working with the Stroker line of subs, but they are basically just for SPL applications.

 

That, sir, is incorrect.
Strokers were originally developed from SQ type woofers (SPL wasn't much in existance in the 70's), but the box is what makes it perform in SQ. It's just very picky.

 

they are aight

 

I had an old set can't member what Model, this was when I was first getting into car audio, and it was made with chip board lol lots of leaks and lil power soo yeah nothing being a newbie lol

 

Add to the fact that if you have just blown two Rockfords, you will probably blow two Earthquakes as well. If you do the pilsbury tire bake off at every stop light, who's fault is it when the tires are bald, your heavy foot or the tires? The same thing goes for subs, they only reproduce what they are given, in this case you either had something set up horribly wrong, be it the box, the gain, bass boost, wiring configuration, whatever they case may be, just changing a sub is not going to solve the problem.

My bet is that you are using an amp on a sub or pair of subs and the amp is way to small to properly power the sub or subs, thus the gain is probably cranked up and clipping all over the map. Post up some more info to see if we can find the cause of the problem.
