ppl help me choose between 2 subs.

I have to chosse between a alpine 10inch SWS-1022D and a fosgate 10inch P210D4. I know the fosgate has a bigger magnet and accepts 250 watts rms. The alpine accepts 300rms and i think is 2 ohms or w/e. Can someone please tell me which is a better sub. i probably will buy 2

out of the two, I'd go with the Alpine. It'll sound pretty good, and they have a fantastic warranty. When I had my Rockford P3 I had to send it to Ontario 3 times!

I have 2 10" rockford P210d4

and from what I hear they are awesome subs and they pound really good.
I can't wait to get mine hooked up.
Alpine is awesome too, top of the line alpine stuff only though.

If you had to send your sub back 3 times to get it repaired then chances are you were doing something wrong with it.

(unless it was a straight up manuf. defect, which I doubt happened 3 times)
