Only looked at the first page of pics, but all that $$$$ for equipment and no deadening?!?!?

Had a review of one back awhile in Car Audio. I want to say it was the directory issue.

I guess it really boils down to the type of music you listen to. Might give that RSD a try soon. If nothing else, my wifes car needs something to go along with her Exile comps.

Never used the RSDs but the I LOVE the Xmax sound!!!

What are ya saying? Need to wait before buying any new amps?

PG needs to get a high end line out first way before messing with anything else. Get the word out and the Phoenix will be reborn!!

Yes there is, but around here its hard to find. Most places wont even order it in my area. I have to order everything in.

Another example of some of the best being overlooked because a company puts more $ into marketing hype than product. I miss the days when you bought an amp, you knew what you were getting. I used to view RF as brute power and PG as refined power. I've even noticed the 'quality' of the average instal...

Just say no to JL. Too much freakin marketing hype for my tastes. As opposed to PG with zero market presence? PG went cheap and in the end, its killing them.People will seek out and pay for quality; as in Zed Audio, Rolls-Royce, etc. Well known names in their respective fields with little to no adv...

RE8s? What is that?

Just say no to JL. Too much freakin marketing hype for my tastes.

Maybe RE8s?

How about this setup: Tantrum 300.2 bridged to each side of my Ti Elites and a 500.2 powering a single 10. Might be my current ED 10O.44 flat cone or 'insert new sub here'. That should make for more than enough headroom.

I had a Punch HX2 10 and many people mistook it for a 12 in terms of output.

Ah! The ol BBQ style RF. Some of my favs! Wish I could find a Power 250X2 and a 500m in decent shape; I used both back in the day. So overall, would you say the Tantrums are better built? I like the idea of the pure raw power equal to the old school RFs.

12 looks and no opinions?? Any way here is a link to the guts of the 500.2 and the GT-22. Just basing the comparo on the total rated power, but the 500.2 is at 4 ohms and the Boton at 2ohms; plus that the closest ones ampguts has.

Whats everyones take on the Tantrum line? I'm thinking about a pair of 500.2s or a 500.2 on my Elite6s and a 300.2 bridged to a Xmax 10. The Bostons I have are a GT-40 ( bridged to the elites @ 190x2) and a GT-22 bridged (500watts x1) to my ED 10O.44 flat cone 10. i think a Xmax 10 should be able to...

Sounds like JL

I know someone out there has tried this setup. How was it? Did you use the Elite XO or the RSD XO? Seems like the Elite tweet would blend well since the RSD tweet is based from it.

A new mid to add to the mix

The more I think about it the more I dont know what to stick with; the Elites or change to some Seas. The Elites are getting a solid 190watts per side. If I went with Seas, it would be 55w per component @ 4 ohms. I was looking at the CA18RNX or Peerless Exclusives 7" and for a tweet the Seas 27...

I have used them in the past and the worked fine for me. Really helps in those tight installs.

That makes more sense! I'm going to try an AP enclosure first and see if that will work. If not, its time to break out the table saw!

Just seems a 1cuft enclosure for a 6 is a tad on the large side. My 10 is only in a .65 enclosure.
