Are they better than the Lambda ones? The reason I was saying if cost didn't matter is because I wanted to know what was the best, plus I have found the RF Power HX2's for $210 and the Eclipse Titanium's (these are all 10" sizes) for $300. It says the rms peak is 500 watts and the peak power is 1000, so you're sure a 600 watt amp wouldn't damage it? I just want to be careful with it. Thanks for all the input.
If you want exceptional SQ plus the ability to handle 1600w RMS 4800 peak, the Adire Audio Brahma would be the sub for you.
http://www.adireaudio.com/car_audio/subwoofers/brahma_series.htm The 10" is 339.00 in the preorder.
One more option is to just get 1 15" Brahma and get some sort of mega watt Class D amp like a Directed 1100, JBL BP1200.1, or Earthquake PHD2 shredder.
About the Lambda,
The PB12 works very well in a 1 cubic foot box. I wouldn't send any more than 300w per sub, so the 600w amp mentioned earlier would be a good choice. It can handle more power, but 300 per sub gets the job done, so I wouldn't risk sending more. It has some limits when it comes to SPL but I would suspect that mid 130s wouldn't be the least bit out of line in a sealed box. In a ported box, high 130s shoudl be possible while still retaining great SQ.
