Love mine... it pumps. I built a sealed box for SQ, that also fires out of a side port, to protect the cone from punctures, as it's all in my work van.

I hit 135db on my windshield, and if I stuff a rolled up tarp in the port with the sensor inside, I've hit 164.7 [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

That's just ONE H2 12.2, and a 1200D running at 1 ohm, not even the bigass 2500D. I've heard this amp should be stable at .5 an ohm, so I may spring for a second H2 sometime...

As it is though, I'm wanting to build a ported SQ box...

A pair of H2's with a 2500D for the pair (or per driver is even better) will get very loud and sound great given the correct enclosure.
I am extremely pleased with mine.

Your back window will be fine.

You have to be VERY loud to blow a window. 2 12's or r 10's will not be able to do it. [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

i hear immortal subs have a tendancy to fry at rms
so i kinda decided not to even bother.but the compression series looked pretty good and the flame t series.
