Rockford is very reputable, Customer service is top notch to boot .
I'd look into 2 Punch series 10's at stage 2 level. That should satisfy your needs very well.

I would reccomend 3 amps.
1) Rockford Punch series P600.1BD
2) Zapco DC Reference series 500.2 (hard to find though)
3)Hifonics Zues series ZXi 6006
You can find all of them at www.woofersetc.com but be aware this site is not an authorized Zapco dealer even though they sell Zapco products. They are authorized for everything else though.

If you were going for SQ then the SPL meter wasn't needed for the video! LOL

Even with SQ you'll want to use Pink Noise to dial in the system. Pink Noise is used with an RTA to see a full spectrum of frequencies. The output looks like a graphic EQ in real time which you can adjust peaks in valleys in frequencies bumps. Pink noise covers the full spectrum of sound 20mhz to 20khz and not just certain frequencies at certain times like music represents. Judging by your video I would say you have some pretty large spikes in the 200Mhz and below range. LOL. Definitely not a SQ thing but an SPL thing.

cool. I used the meter so you could judge how loud it was for an SQ setup.

if you dont mind me askin... how much and where did you get it? I used to have one that registered up to 150dB that plugged into the 12v plug but like i said... it was capped at 150 so if this does up to 180 it might be a decent cheap alternative to a TermLab

edit: - oh and does it have a function that will hold the peak dB instead of just real time dB readings like in ur vid?
