Default speaker decision, need opinion

im stuck between 2 speakers. i got enough cash for either.

1 15" Treo CSX


http://www.treoonline.com/csx.html

or

1 15" Solobaric L7


http://www.kicker.com/ShowPage.cfm?f...enu=SUBWOOFERS

heres the amp im working with. very good amp

http://www.carsound.com/reviews/amps/d300hc.html


im all about bass, and lots of it. i want to be heard, and i think either sub will allow me to do that, with the proper install and box. im most likely going to have a fiberglass box built to the proper specifications.

which one would u guys prefer?

I havent ever heard treo subs so i dunno but i definitely wanna hear that if you get it. If it were me, Id get the Treo just to have something almost nobody else has. Thats just me though, some people like their car to have all mainstream shit. Either setup is gonna slam though.

I'm a big fan of the L7's after actually hearing them, especially considering what you can pick them up for. They do have a tedious break-in period though, which is probably what causes alot of people to think their "unreliable". Break them in right and you won't be diappointed though.

And the basis behind square subs is to push additional air with the added cone area, which in theory, would be true.
