you guys fogot alot of good subs on you lists
Digital Design very very very loud all of there subs are good more spl then sq though
Adire Audio --- Brahma (have a 10" comign be here tommrow)
bad ass sub good sq and spl mix
Resonant Engineering --- XXX bad ass sub good sq and spl mix
Image Dynamics --- IDMAX great sq sub -- Ran two myself took up to much room though -- sob dont make 10" in idmax or i would have replaced my 12"s with 10"s-- IDQ great budget sub
JL Audio makes great subs but i think there a ripe off
Kicker L7's are a nice bang for your buck also
Dont buy crap cause it will sound like crap. Installation makes everything, its the most important aspect. Chris

If you dont want mainstream and you want a sub that will win both sq and spl competitions get the Beyond Audio Inhuman.... very very bad ass sub.
the Beyond Audio Lineup

the Beyond Audio Forum to ask quesitons

ps - not saying that the others wont do this, but the inhuman is such a sleeper sub and the antithesis of mainstream.

(I'm not exactly sure if it's that or left - and right +, as it's been a long time since ive bridged an a/b amp, so check your amp's instruction manual on bridging)
True mono block amps have only one channel to begin with...

If you have the instructions, they should tell you how much power you'll get if you bridge they channels. If that's the amp I'm thinking of, you will more than likely have enough power. I've gotten everything though my uncle at Sony and am happy with everything. I'm runnung two 12's (competition) and you can hear me coming far away. Once I get my mono amps, whoa watch out!

I just bought a Kicker L5 10 in the big vented box (2.25 sq ft I think). I am powering it with my Audiobahn A18001DQ amp, which I know is total overkill for this sub, but oh well...what can you do? Anyway, I've been very happy with it for the most part. It's not as clean as the sealed enclosures I've been used to in the past, but it sounds nice and hits harder than any single 10 I've ever heard. At $349 list, it's good bang for the buck if you've got a good amp to push it.

My home theater is more tame than your. All Yamaha electronics, Boston powered 10 sub, and MB Quart .5's all around.
I'll have to look around, I might still have some replacement domes for the Vifa's. I'll send them to you if I do since I don't have any Vifa's anymore.

Your system is going to be awesome with those Dynaudios. Put them in kickpanels and get a good matching sub and you'll blow everyone away

I break that rule every now and then and doing so can be very dangerous to the equipment if you dont know your system EXTREMELY well.
If the amp says dont go below 2ohms, you dont want to go below that.

im an eclipse fan because of the well rounded performance...when it comes to subs, its up to you...do you want booty bass, tight bass, rumble (i dont think anyone likes that though),...you should really get a custom box...it makes a world of difference...sub positions is key too for what you want in the bass department
