I guess it all depends on what sort of balance of SQ, and L you want, and price does have to come into it somewhere, your £500 price split is a pretty high one... there aren't all that many subs that actually come in at above £500

A few of the better ones:-

Orion HCCA2
JL W7
RE xxx
Diamond TDX
DD 95 and 99 series
IDMAX
Morel SWR

Although theres a fair few more out there... all with a different character of sound, alot of it comes down to personal preference :)

For the SQ part, take 1 kevlar cone, stiff for minimal distortion, and light for fast responce. add a 30KG magnet round an extended 3 inch voice coil for the L bit ;)

abso-fukn-lutely :)

also depends do you go RRP or the price CAD can do it for you, which will be easily less than the RRP.

in any case, there is what i call a 'super-sub league' - drivers which are all at the top of their game (but which unfortunately weigh like a small elephant :D)

they are

Elemental Designs A series

Adire Audio Brahma

ORION HCCA/H2

JL Audio W7

RE X X X

OZ Audio Matrix Power (possibly discontinued, if so = :shake: :()

DD 9500 series

Eclipse Alum/Ti

Diamnod Audio TDX

any of these subs are the best of the best and getting one to sound better than the other will all be shown up by selection of ampliofier, enclosure, installation.

dd3500 and re hc unfortunately are not in the super-sub league, even though they are v.decent drivers.

I'd like to think so, there is a chap in the states who has been giving a pair 4k rms each at slap for the entire 2003 season, no re-cones ,no problems of any sort...
