I cannot recomend them except for a pure SPL setup where you don't care how long they last.

Power Acoustik = crap . Nothing more to say. They blow like no tomorrow if you put clean power into their power ratings and they still sound like garbage. Really, take like12 MOFOS and you might have a decent SPL score, but after you do that test tone you'll probably see smoke. I agree with DYohn, in which i can never recommend them.

You can pick up a couple of Infinity Kappa 12's for less than $250 and keep your US Acoustics amp.

Check out Adire, MB Quart, Diamond, Memphis, Image Dynamics, Infinity, MTX, etc. There are a lot of good subwoofers out there for not much money. Keep that amp.

Also, remember that severe clipping can make ANY subs sound like ass. Make sure your gains are set properly before you go buying anything new.

You could go with 2 Adive shivas..$125 each..plus shipping..you'd still have atleast $200 left over for an amp and correct me if i'm wrong but the Shivas dont need much power..
