alright im going to be getting a cadence amp, now im not sure of which subs i will be buying. so again im going to be asking all of your experienced opinions. i like decent sound quality and loud. cant go over about 600wrms because of my alternator but im planning on upgrading it soon so if i have to i can go over the 600rms. (note this is for a pair of subs)

subs ive found so far are the eclipse sw6200 or the Cadence TXW12-2S.

any opinions would be great. i will more then likely be going with the cadence but im open to eclipse. thanks alot guys!

Either of those are good choices. Me? I'm an Eclipse guy, but both of those are very capable drivers.

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."

i know i love eclipse also. but the cadence have a beefier motor with a 160oz magnet i believe with the eclipse's like 60oz. (not sure on the eclipse) but im always wanting to try new things and the cadence look like really nice drivers, a bit more expensive then the eclipse but i can always sell them if i dont like them. thanks alot!

edit: i know both are for sound quality but which do you think will be louder?

I think you might be better off with a single Eclipse SW8200.

i built a box for my car that has dual 12's. and i would really like to keep the box cuz i dont want to build another one. so im set on two 12's. and i think that the dual 12 would be louder then a single 8200. (more air movement)

alright i bought two of the cadence subs, cadence amp. now for my box i have a ~2.7 cuft per sub tuned to about 35hz. what should i tune these subs to? and should i decrease my airspace? more internal bracing never hurt anybody =)
