Get the Diamonds. I'm running a single M6 in a .6 cubic foot stealth box and it suprised the hell out of me. The quality will be similar between the two.

Diamonds, Adire, Peerless, or Dayton. IMO JL is overrated and overpriced.

In all my years of working on a professional level with everything from Pro audio to car audio, I've never seen a driver 'push' wattage, yet I hear and see this quite a bit - can someone please explain this to me?

Down Boy, DOWN.

I would say to go with what has been recommended. Also check out Adire Audio. (unredeemed mentioned theses)
http://www.adireaudio.com/Mobile/index.htm
They have some awesome subs for the Money (Now they are strating to charge more Though)

It seems that you are set on the HiFonics amp. 1800w is alot of power.

1 10" in a stealth enclosure is pretty Loud. Suprisingly loud. 2 12" with that much power will slam pretty hard.

What are you going for; Street Bass or Compition Levels?

Go for it. Will Probably like them since you have heard them 1st Person.

Also, what Kind of music does your friend listen too? Is it the same as what your Buddy listens too? If so then just demo his. That should make up your mind for sure.

what, you don't know what "pushing watts" in a sub is? when a sub is rated for 800 watts, it "pushes" that power when the cone moves up and down.....jeez, get with it, man!!!

So is that why the cone becomes blurry when I crank it up? Is that those watts just being "pushed" right off the speaker cone? Thanks for the explanation 02Z28LS1 - I've been so confused for such a long time! See, just another reason to love LS1Tech!!
