I'm trying to decide on new subs. Should I go into Street B and compete with two RE SX's and two D2400 Directed amps. My other options are to go into street A with same amps and one Atmic APX12" or FI BTL?

The RE SX's would be louder over the Atomic any day simply because I've used the SX's and can take the power. Tested and Proven a winner in db drag.

As for Atomic, LMAO yike dude. You seriously need to read this post before you even send your money to that shady owner!

This is the atomic post...read and if you still want to deal with them after that, well all i can say is "I told you so!" if you get screwed or dont get what your after.

id think the atomic would be the loudest...but..its no good to have loud woofers that dont work and you cant get recones for ,and the trouble you have to go through to get them..daily price changes...crazy shipping charges...etc etc ....

out of those choices I would go with the Atomics just because of what I have seen in what works and is louder then other stuff in Street setups.

I sqeaked out a 4th this yr at finals in street A with American Bass VFL comp 10's. They have more potential. I bought the car last Nov. and this is my first season at this level of competition.
