I can pick a half a dozen of companies that will do what he's asking for. He just wanted to know between the two. I'll say it again, it's all about the tune as far as being more accurate or cleaner, not the limit of the speaker.

nods.. what he means is the signal coming from the amp.. as far s being clean. You dont want to get a cheap amp that will have distorted signals or overheat or have really horrible clipping.
Cripes these 13Ov2's only have like 1000w max.. and the bass is overpowering compared to my highs. Which used to be very balanced with the old he-2's.
But when you pickt he subs make sure they have hella huge and heavy magnets so thy can handle what ya toss at em. I've seen some subs with big numbers.. and yet couldnt handle it. Then again I have also seen big amps but yet when you went beyond 1/4 gain they over heated or the signal was really distorted and the subs just made farting noises.. hehe
Oh and I guess the HU may play some role for clarity of signal but I stil think its like 90% on the shoulders of the amp.. and some on the shoudlers of how well you wire your system.. where you ground it and types of rca's etc etc...

Just when you go to the store.. and yes I recommend going locally to at least see the speakers before you buy em online etc..
At the store see if you can inspect one out of the box.. you can tell then which has the larger/heavier magnet *big round heavy black thing on the bottom*
Ones rated for handling more rms and usually higher quality will have the heavier magnets.. for instance.. my 12's weigh alot more than my 15's
Hehe I know you wanna get the sound system going etc etc.. but everytime I rushed a system I always ended up regretting not having checked out another option etc.. its one reason we all end up altering them so often.
