Actually I spent only $2k including shipping. I ment the descent was a 3k sub, and the 2k sub blew it away. Ive been reading on the jl sub.It looks like its a killer. But if I needed that much bass, why not go with the svs dual 13.4 ultra comming out in the next few months?Its stated already over 8db's louder then the previous ultra 12/2.Now thats amazing.It stated you would need 2/12 ultra 12/2 subs to match its power. Plus it looks cool, front firing with a nice new cabinet. Also they have room eq control comming out! Its funny, I used to think svs fans were nuts, then I tried one. At least in my house what a sub!
