Yea if you are getting some about how much would they cost? shipping? If you are getting some count me in on one. I would rather buy from you than an online ebay store. I could ask for a refund from the online store. About when would you be able to get them and ship one to me? Sorry for all the questions.

dude, id use the ti 600.2, a little more power than the rms, but mayb a litle more headroom(volume) , depending on the head unit ur using, i think sometimes too much power is better thannot enuff, as long as u can tell once ur begining to distort them, a ti 400.2 would be great, but think would not deliver enuff power 2 them( the specs are 100 by2 @ 4ohms-14.4 volts), its just my opinion, -yeah a ms 2125 would be nice also-just my opinion, as long as ur happy, and u like the sound -go for it- i run 2 rsdc 10s off of 2 different rsd 1200.1s, but my 2 sets of mids and highs( ti elites) run off of a ti 500.4(bridged to the front set for more power, then the rear set is run by the ti 600.2, i luv the clarity, the rsd amps arent bad for the buck, however i would suggest an external 24db/octave xover for any rsd amp( they are stock 18db/octave)

Yeah, I would say you really couldn't tell that much of a difference between the Ti, Xenons and the MS. My personal opinion would be MS or MPS series, but i'm just partial though :)

Nothing like having extra headroom/power :D

not that familiar with the mps- a guy on the phorum here wants to trade me 3 mps, and one ms amp for 2 ti amps-checked the specs, but even at 1ohm loads, seem like they may be way less power than im used to??? i currently run a ti 500.4(bridged to front set of ti 6.5 elites, rear set runs off of a ti 600.2 and 2 rsd 1200.1( one for each rsdc 10,

The RSDG grill will not work on the RSDC subs. Too much excursion. The grills were made for the regular RSD's.

You may be able to fab something up to build up the space between sub surround and grill though.

I heard the same as well regarding those grills and the reason being the excursion. Too bad PG didnt design any for the RSDC's

If it was the mps2500 then I would probably do it. They don't have any x-overs built into them though.

I would take any MPS/MS amp over the TI's. Now the Ti's are easier to just slap in a vehicle and get running though, no external x-over you have to buy. Back then I don't think HU's had x-overs built into them.

Anyway, the MPS2500 and MS2125 has more headroom than the ti's. Talking about the 600.2 and lower. Someone correct me on that if i'm wrong.

You should be able to get 700-750 watts out of the 2500 and roughly the same from the 2125.

Are you talking about the Tarantulas from soundstream subs? Those are badass and the XXX are even more. I don't think they are really SQ subs though, but more for SPL and they really deliver in that aspect!

your gunna hate me... I kept telling my dad telling him buy it dad its a great deal!!!! it will make ur system scream! and then it was too late... someone nabbed it. But heres the thing... I want my system to be phoenix gold, and I want my dads to be different than mine. So I think I am just going to buy him a JL audio Slash 300/2 which is 150rms X 2 to power his boston acoustic pro60. I think that will be a good combo. I then will have an upper hand because he has to buy shallow mount subs because he has ford f-250 and I will soon have rsdc124 powered by my rsd600.1 and I cant wait to hear what that sounds like as soon has KHPower sends me it!!!!! OH YEA! But I really want to upgrade my amp to a two channel Phoenix gold amp... hopefully some of u fellows decide to let 1 go to a young kid who wants to start his collection!!!! :)

JL, yeah that's no good.. entirely up to you... but I have a MS2125 Original Piece of art work that would be fabulous on that RSDC124 bridged.... 500x1 @ 4-ohm... beau-tee-full... WAIT but you would need the rsdc122 (2-ohmer to get 4-ohm bridged)... my bhaaaad!
