Ok. Thats kind of a dodgy answer to a legitimate question. Not saying it was intended to be that way, but to imply that 90% of subwoofers have a negative quality that the mag does not seems a bit like a sweeping generalization.

I mean, the real concern here is that the new mag is not going to have the output desired regardless of sound quality. Are we going to need two "new" mags to do the same SPL job that one "old" mag would do? Is this why the cost is lower per driver this time around?

Many of us will be putting these things in our trunk, which eats up a bit of useable output. If we need two of them to do the job, then many of the benefits become moot, i.e. low weight, shallow depth. Am I still going to need a 2 cu. foot box for two subs or will one suffice?
