I've been in your boat before. I've had brahmas reconed locally into 18s and again into 10s. The results were pretty awesome. I ended up dealing with George Wu at Atomic Loudspeakers in CA for the final build. Those subs have seen over 2000 watts a piece for daily ground pounding and were so purty that I mounted them inverted to show off the nice motor assembly. Too bad adire isn't around any more. They were a solid company with solid product and they brought alot to the industry. I hope Dan Wiggins is doing well.
