Need Opinions

I'm in the market for a 15 in. sub. I need opinions on which of these 3 subs are better: Diamond Audio CM315D4, Alpine SWR-1541D, or Adire Tempest. I'm looking to spend around $200. If you know of any other sub that is better than these please let me know. Also are Audiobahn amps any good?

you would get better advice in sounddomain....this is only good if you asking about specific maxima sound system questions.

I have heard the 10's and 12's CM3's.....nice sub- cannot comment on the 15" but cannot be to far off, Alpine subs never impressed me- Tempest are big
with the caraudio.com people (but so is any other Adire/RE/ED product)

Yeah I have to agree. We all run what we think is best. And usually it ends up being a fight over speakers. Everyone has either had a good experience or bad experience with any sub.

To me, alpine never had that good of speakers. But great decks.

And I haven't had any first hand experience with the other 2 say I can't say either way.

If you're looking for just 1 15" around $200, Memphis makes some nice subs, and so does JL.

Easiest way is to go out and listen to everything you're thinking of. And see what you like best

sounddomain is the last place id go to for CA 411. any of those subs will suit you fine depending on what size and type of box you want. and also what power you have at what ohms.

Thanks for all the comments. Does anybody know if the Tempest can run at 2 ohm's? I checked a site but it didn't say.
