I agree, power is the key. even especialy for music, without a proper amount of power you will probally make the amp distort before the sub begins to perform. my 12's on a 5k "daily" sounds amazing, hits all the notes cleanly with all the impact i want without exess noise from the moving parts. If your only giving maybe 500 watts to these subs your better off with a light duty sub that best performs on lower input power.

When you test a sub in your audio application, make sure you can provide the power and a proper enclosure for it. Otherwise, you cant possibly see its potential.

it wasnt the fact i wasn't loud on a meter.
more so the fact that 3 months after getting a recone, its blown again, and yet with my previous AQ soft parts it lasted twice as long.

it could have been user error, and in no way do i mean to talk about the TFone brand... I just expected a bit more.

I must agree with Bart I use one TFone 15 setup for spl in my daily driver car. I have been using it every day on 5k for month's and no breakage. It seem's to pound harder every day and ask for more...lol.. I love my TFone...
