Ok as you may know i have been very disappointed with the output of my sx's and i plan to upgrade yet agian. i still dont have room for 15's so im stuck with 12's I am really interested in the critical mass ul 12's but am wondering if there is similar performance drivers for a lower price. i dont care that the ul's only weight 16lbs i just like how they only need 2 cubes ported and how efficient they are. also how many hc2400's should i get to properly power 5krms. 160 amp alt is gonna have to do tho. |

Can't really help much with the sub question but as far as the hc2400's two of them should be sufficient for 5krms. I have two of them and it is complete overkill (although I am only running a 3250.1). Hope this helps. |

I think you should definitely get the ULs and write a review with pics and vids and the whole nine yards. Just because I've always wanted to hear a system with those and haven't got to  |

They are nice subs for sure, but honestly the only advantage is weight. I have delt with 1 myself in a customers ride and used it for the weight factor in a mustang. Great little sub for sure, but if you don't care about weight, you can for sure save some money elsewhere. Kevin |

Honestly, on 5K and 2 cubes ported the UL is probably the best choice for you. Hard to find a sub to take 2500 rms and fit in such small enclosure with the same performance. $1600 is a good price if that is with warranty as well Kevin |

its 2 cubes each just in case i wasn't clear, but yea thats still pretty small for 2500 rms. and no 1600 is not with the warranty thats off of ca.com. w/ warranty would prob be like 4k. |

Well, if you want a warranty I can probably do something for you, but it will be a little more, but not much. Shoot me an email. Kevin lowhz01@yahoo.com |
