I was thinking of getting two adire shivas or dayton 12" DVC for $250 (dayton works in smaller box than the Shiva) or i was thinking of getting two 12" punch HEs 4ohm for $120-$140 when best buy has there buy one get one free or half off deals. Now what I want to know is do you guys think the performance of the shiva/daytons is worth the extra money, from what I hear the Shiva is comparable to woofers three times its price.

One Shiva or Dayton DVC should outperform two of those Punch drivers in sound qquality and probalby equal in output for the same power.

i was just searching through the forums and i found 12" SAE1204 from stryke audio , are they any good ?

Very good as well, but they don't handle as much power as the oter two. If you are only giving each one 300w or less anyway, the Stryke is cheaper.

is that 300w rms or max? i just punched in the t/s Parameters into winisd and it looks like the stryke might work better for me becaus of its abitly to work well in an smaller Enclosures than the shiva and the dayton.

300w rms for the Stryke

How about just getting a single Shiva or Dayton for now and testing it. If it is not enough , add another? I think you will be impressed with it's abilityies for a mere $120ish.

Another option to throw in their is the Blueprint 1202. Works in very small enclosures and costs 119.00.

wow that blueprint looks like it might be right for me. is there any other sites that sales it other than the blueprint site.

ps. alittle off topic but when i was secrching every audio forum i know of, i found this on www.elitecaraudio.com look at it move

I live right around the corner from you and if you want to hear the Shiva let me know.

That's the Stryke HE15. I posted it here back in september. It's an impressive video.
