New member Username: Foong_onePost Number: 1 Registered: Jan-07 | I'm going to get a single 12" sub. I have already narrowed my choices down to these two, but just can't make up my mind between them (even though they're priced differently, the price is not a consideration). Does N-E-1 have an opinion ? MTX Thunder5500 T5512-04, OR Alpine SWR-1242D |

Obviously cheaper to take the advice of the experienced, but some only learn by failing. Their loss. I have learned this very same way. Education can sometimes be painfull. |
