anyone have any experience with Arc's Kar series of subs? i've heard they're pretty decent for a budget sub. how might they stack up against the Shiva??

specs on the Arc 12"

http://www.arcaudio.com/arc-05/subwoofers/kar_12d4.htm

what specs are the best indicators of how much spl you will get? linear excursion? the Shiva has a one-way xmax of 16mm and the Arc has a 8mm one-way xmax. does this mean the shiva will destroy the arc in spl? not sure if i'm making any sense??

that doesnt mean everything... it does mean that the shiva will move more air... 8mm isnt very good at all though.... and im sure the shiva will destroy it though

cool. thanks trevor. the shiny looks of the Arc almost had me sold :-)

i'm down to two choices now - Shiva or Atlas

the retail on the atlas is $145. anyone know any place cheaper? can pickup the shiva for $125 shipped, so $$ might be the tiebreaker.

Look at the Elemental Designs stuff.

www.elementaldesigns.com. I have the 13Kv2 and I absolutely love it. Blows my buddies shiva out of the water. He ended up buying one too and replacing his shiva when he heard mine. 125 bucks.

Travis, what kind of enclosure do you have the 13Kv2 in?
