Yeah in my current SX2.0 (Neon). I pulled them last summer for something different and have been running 3 10s with half the power as before. I kind of miss the 8s but enjoy the extra trunk room..

I was actually just trying to find either an Image Dynamic or Sundown dealer.....so good call.

On the flipside, If I do give in and end up going with a 10, it will be a simple choice for me - Hertz Mille ML2500......unfortunately Hertz doesn't offer an 8 in the higher end of their products.

If you don't got for an 8" horn-loaded, why stop at a 10"? The 12" Mille series is a WONDERFUL sub and they sound great ported. I PROMISE that if you build a big box and tune low, it will have great SQ and no peaks like SPL sub boxes are designed around. It would better handle the power of the amp you already own as well.

Also, a 12" sub in a big ported box is still going to take up less space than a properly designed horn-loaded box for an 8" and it will play a wider bandwith (from what I understand, horn-loaded boxes are VERY similar to bandpass boxes...narrow passband).

I thought you said you recognized who I was ?.....lol

I already own an ML3000 and love it. I am enjoying it at home with 1,000w till it's ready to go into the car.

As far as stopping at a 10 ? simple - POWER. I feel that 600w RMS will keep the 10 nice and clean. I already decided against using this amp on the 12 ages ago and is the main reason I bought all new power (my new LRx stuff) to power it along with my complete Mille 3-way front stage.

600w RMS from my SRx2s - I will power a 10" ML2500 with.

750w RMS from my LRx5.1k is what I plan to power my ML3000 12 with.

it honestly appears to me that you believe that "SQ" is linked directly to subwoofer size

Nope. Just proper power and enough of it. The only thing that should really appear to you is my desire for a small sub that I can power properly with the limited power (600w RMS) that I have available.....and not something too large, that I might underpower. But, Perhaps you should read it again......
If all I had was a 1,000w monoblock, I would be looking to 12's or larger, trust me.

Luckilly forum posts and reading in general is such an objective thing, that always seems to be open to interpretation, otherwise, where would today's Muslim extremists be without 7 ways to interpret the Koran's desire for 'Peace'......LOL....and how to achieve it.

Seems like you are saying 750 will properly power your hertz sub but 600wont? That's funny stuff.

600 watts VS 750watts is a non audible totally non issue between any subs.

No. What I am saying is that the 750w that my Audison LRx amp produces will power my 12 better than the 600w that my Audison SRx amp produces. Funny stuff eh ?

Anything else ?
