An interesting thing about them: they only come in sizes of 11, 13, or 15 inches. Anyways I know that the components are supposed to have amazing sound quality, so does anyone know how good the subs are? I know for $400 at www.woofersetc.com you can get a Focal 33K sub, 13in, 94.5dB sensitivity, power handling = 400 rms and 800 peak...more info at Focal's website . This is $40 cheaper than an Adire brahma, and despite having a much lower power handling, the sensitivity is through the roof in comparison (95.dB to 87.6dB). So, anybody know anything? 1998 black Contour SVT E0 -KKM Intake -B&M Short Shifter -SPARCO front strut tower bar -24mm Aussie rear sway bar

Sensitivity may be lower, but it makes up by horrendous swept volume displacement. I'd look into getting a stryke AV. Ren Remember this is why we're at war!
