hmmm decision time

My friend wants to get 2 Power Acoustik FUBR-10's for about $160.... would he be better off getting 1 adire shiva mark IV for $125?

he is leaning more towards spl than sq. he will be pushing them/it with a jbl 600.1.

or any other suggestions for $160 or less.

thanks
Brian

He'd be better off with 1/2 of an Adire Shiva than 2 Power Acoustik anythings.

he just doesnt have that much.

the shivas are dual 8ohm voice coils so if he were to run the the sub in parallel it would be running at 4ohms right? the jbl only pushes 600rms at 4 ohms and the shiva handles 650
