By compete, do you mean compete in SPL or compete in SQ?

If you're doing DB drag, cross the W7 your list now. I've got mixed feelings on Fi. It really depends on who you talk to. Some people swear by them, but I've seen quality issues with them, and from what I've seen, they also don't completely live up to their hype. MTX may be a good option, but I don't have much experience with their product. Have you considered DD?

subwoofer SIZE has NOTHING to do with how "fast" or "slow" it is.

Myth - vast majority of misinformed people think larger subwoofers sound "slower" and "sloppy" because of horrible installation and setup.

I'm not trying to undermind you nor challenge your knowledge so please don't be offended. But wouldn't a lager woofer be slower simply because its larger? A larger object would have more inertia; therefore its gonna take more force to get it to start and stop motion. It takes more time for a larger object to stop that a smaller object with the same force.

Nope... read here...

We beat this one to death for quite some time, but it's still referred to on a semi-regular basis...

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."
