Which 12’s should I get?

Mtx 8500.......Forgot that, unless you can get both for $500. I would go with the eclipse titaniums they`ll sound a lot, +++ better than mtx subwoofers and handle tons of power.95 Mercury Cougar

Eclipse HU

12" Memphis m3

Memphis 1000.1d

RF Power 6x9

i agree with 95cat on the eclipse, much better then mtx and the others

Having OWNED the SW9122, I can't recommend anything else. I ran close to 1700 watts to it in a one cubic foot sealed box, and I was constantly blown away with it's speed, articulation, and extension. I will warn you, they LOVE tons of power, and I wouldn't even think of running less than about 1000 watts to it, especially in a box that small.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."

both for $500 with a 4 year warantee? are you smokin crack? they retail for $500 a piece without the 4 year warantee.

Another old dog votes for the Eclipse.Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.

Sorry but I love Boston...they can get pretty deep. Friend of mine has the G2 10 inch in a 1.5 cu ft box tuned to 40Hz and it still hits DEEP...wonder what the G5 can do

Ok I see a pattern. I've visited MANY forums, read 100's of reviews, etc and 99% of the time it all kept coming back to the SW9122's. I have a few dealers in my area and was told if I wanted them to hurry as they were not going to make any more of the 9122's and most places were sold out. I went to my top 3 dealers, all were sold out. So I finally found another dealer relatively far away and they just so happened to have exactly and only 2 in stock - I figured it was fate and bought them. These things are by FAR the best SQ I've EVER got out of a sub, amazing! I can't wait till they break in, should be unbelievable. But now I have another issue - I need a new amp. I have a Diamond 600w x 1 at 1ohm amp which was great for my old subs but will barely move my new SW9122's and I'm also trying to stay WAY under $800 for the amp. I came across 2 in a good price range: (1) Soundstream PCA2000D  OR  (2) Hifonics XX Hercules - both are 2000 RMS x 1 at 1 ohm which is how I'm running the subs. Since both amps state the same power - which is better? Thanks for all the help guys, greatly appreciated.Greg Ryan

Soundstream may be more real rated watts than the Hifonics...but either will put out a decent amount of watts
