the 5k rms its only the 18 2.5k rms its the 12 and 10 inch when it is an ported box u dont beilve me download the specs sheet fromkicker, even a re audio sx will hit louder in a crx box in a crx with 1000 rms i seen it. the crx are the easiest cars to get loud that why people called the crx box to the box that its subs up and ports back makes alot of pressure.

Atomic subs are more leaned toward SPL though.I think you should stick with the Mag in my opinion.

i like spl way more so the Atomic AP15D is only $300 bucks....which would be better with an ed nine.1 the ap15d or the apx15

i been talking 2 the local Atomic dealer in my country & know a 15" apx is comfortable with 2500wrms & can handle even 1000 more if u know what u doing

ELE is rated 2 handle 1500 tho so im sure a AP would be better 4 ur amp .....

haha rovin are u serious man??? the apx will take 10k rms daily man without any problem.

jayme both will be good he px will be slighty louder because both of those woofers are very i mean very efficient. but the apx will be more probably aorund 400 or more if u only planning to push 1.2 k rms all the apocalypsis life stay with the apocalypsis if u are plannign to push 1.2k but ull been pushing more in the future maybe another ed nine definetly get the apocalypsis rated x or apx both of them will get very loud i seen the regual apocalypsis break 145 on the 15 model with only 1500 rms in a good install so chose wich one its best for you also the regular acpocalypsis will have better qs than the apx

that solo x is a 10000w sub with 5000rms, and I have a hard time believing the 1200.1 made it move very much. and that lanzar, i personally think it is junk, but others swear by them on this forum,
