    What kind of music do you listen to, and how do you usually listen to it? Are you looking more for a big quantity of bass or high quality bass?

    I just looked at the two different ones you mentioned. Going by the descriptions, I personally would go with the Polk. They do appear to be fairly equal though. I prefer the sound of a 10 to the sound of a 12 though personally...which partially influenced that choice. Ten's just have a tighter, less boomy sound to my ear.

    What kind of amp are you planning on driving them with?
    The nirvana inducer-
    APC H10 Power Conditioner
    Marantz UD5005 universal player
    Parasound Halo P5 preamp
    Parasound HCA-1200II power amp
    PolkAudio LSi9's/PolkAudio SDA 2A's/PolkAudio Monitor 7A's
    Audioquest Speaker Cables and IC's

    but for a amp i was thinking about a rockford T5002 but if i go with a polk ill probably get a polk amp to mach. i like to stick with the same brands unless you have a suggestion about a good amp that would power either one of thoes.

    I was running RF punch power dvc's before switching over to MTX 9500 . RF would be my choice. They hit very hard. As far as amps RF bd series would be a great choice.
