12" MTX 8000 vs RF Power Punch DVC

Which sub is better, I plan on buying one of these two subs and mating them with a Power Acoustik 2200 watt amp. I am not sure which subs to get though. Any one have any suggestions. Thanks
I want the loudest more pounding bass out fo the two. Which one should I get.

if one mtx is shaking cars, imagine what one power dvc can do, rated more than twice the power of the mtx. i say go with the power dvc, but i wouldnt get the new style power dvc if thats what your talking about.

years ago, i had the older style three 12" powers, sealed box, fully powered. dam my hearing has never been the same.

so if u are going to get 2, go with mtx since your wallet will thank you, if u wanna get one, get the power dvc.

mtx 8000 power range is 50-400 and peak of 1,000w i dont think you really need to much more then that much power? i dont remember the exact numbers for RF because everyone in my town has them and i dont want to be normal but the only RF i can find to out power the MTX is the power hx2 with a power range from 150-1000w and a peak off 2000w. i really dont think the dvc subs are that good/powerful... and the price for one mtx8000 is 249.99 compared to 399.99 for the hx2.. i dont know the specs for the dvc but i would rather go for the MTX...i got one and i love it.

Actually I am thinking of running them in a sealed custom enclosure made for our cars. They are on ebay right now. They sell for about 70 bucks. I hope I don't blow the box apart. HAHA, j/k
Anyways, thanks for all the help
