    I got two smaller subs for you ...how about a PSW10 and whatever my old sony hometheater in a box sub came with :)...you asked for it.....thats what you get for not listing a price or asking for two smaller subs with no specifics!!!... :)

    Sounds like this is a great subwoofer...I have a cousin in Castroville California that will probably drive back in the next couple of months Leroy, if you agree in a price I can ask him to put it in the trunk for you....let me verify it with him first though...

    Mole: otherwise spit out a price shipped or some specific gear you are looking for and maybe we can help you and help ourselves :)

    There is always going to be interest in Epik subs here. My interest hinges 100% on the price, including shipping, to the East Coast.:wink:

    Get that BL Lime out of the shot. It cheapens the sub. :mrgreen:

    Used to own one of these. They are giants in sound and stature.

    I doubt that a beer is either a giant in sound or stature. Of course you said you used to own one, so you had to have enjoyed it at sometime! :cheesygrin:

    The dual MFW-15 will have a slight edge in output, but the Castle will eat them both for lunch below 20 hz. I have the Empire now, which has 2 15" woofers and weighs the same as the Castle, but it's still no match for the Castle below 20 hz :eek:

    I have never heard the MFW-15, but they were notorious for having amp issues (as were pretty much ALL av123 amps). Since there is no company to repair the amp, I wouldn't trade unless your willing to potentially buy brand new amps for those guys.

    +1 on what rooftop59 mentioned about the av123 amp problems. There are a ton of complaints about them on AVS. Sad to see you have to sell The Castle, they have a fine reputation of being a killer sub.

    the guy states the the stock AMPs are in great shape and that he bought 2 spare amps but has never had to use them. i would get the 2 new amps in the trade too.

    I thought this one looked really cool. If you have the skills you could build two using the 12 in dayton reference drivers and 2 of the 240 watt plate amps from parts express for about 6 bills, less if you were patient and found that stuff on sale.
