My last set up was one of these subs(p2 10") running off of a punch 201s amp... It cracked in the cone 3 times in the same exact spot... They replaced it everytime but I had to pay 18 dollars shipping to get it back to them everytime So if I were you... I would spend my money elsewhere.

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?
It was $30 at wal-mart. It has real time, max, min modes. It is fairly accurate too. It's only +/- 1.5DB from my Termlab I just sold.

sorry, no longer have AIM. Tarantula subs are aout average as far features and power handling. If you want bump, you need to look at 3 things
1) Sd= cone surface area
2) Xmax= excursion
3) efficiency=spl
all of these things help to make boom. the higher each of these numbers, the more boom your going to have in theory as long as the box and amp are tuned correctly.

honestly i dont think you can beat Fi SSDs for that price. I love mine.... and I recommended them to jwool15 and he loves them. They are amazing for their price range.

btw- thanks jmt0645 i'll see if i can pick one to get an idea until the audio shop will stop bs'ing and get their TL
