changing subs, looking at arc audio, any suggestions??

I've decided its time to part with the JL12w3v2, good sub, but i want something new. I've been looking around. I've thought about adire audio's tempest, sound splinter rl-p12, or arc audio's flat line serious 12d4. What do yall suggest??

all i can say is the attack/decay of the Flatline is the best I've heard out of a supersub...( better than the TDX, Eclipse Titanium, OZ Matrix Elite, XXX....the IDMax only being comparable..)

Send Don a PM as he sells this line. He might be able to hook you up with a sweet deal.

Arc doesn't allow internet sales. You'll have to find a local dealer.

There's great things being said about the "Arc" subs. I'm sure these subs are awesome. They're Image Dynamics...uh, no, I mean Arc Audio subs

Edit: And while I am sure that the flatlines are awesome, keep in mind that for some of these high end companies, such as you're looking at, you don't need to go to the most expensive ones to get top notch results, especially if you have a solid front stage.....

If you live near him, then yes, but this guy doesn't live near him. I already tried to buy arc flatline subs from don and he told me to go find a local dealer because he isn't allowed to sell arc online.

Morel Isreal, where tf did that come from?

Seriously....I gotta come out and check out your stock once my systems done.

No interest in Seas, huh? You know it's all the rage now.

You carry too much high end. I gotta get to know you.

Apparently from Israel. LoL To be honest I wanted more options especially on raw drivers. Although the Supremos would be a nice set as well.

The DYN 360 set should be going in this weekend. Of course without their crossovers, staying all active.

Then in January moving my XXKs up to SEs.
