Soundsplinter vs Treo

[niceguy 0]

How do these compare SQ and SPL wise?? I'm waiting to hear from a guy about a used RL-i 12" but also there's a local Treo dealer who said he'd sell me a TSX 12"D2 for $150 new w/3 yr warranty.

It seems the 2 are fairly close in rms power, the SS being from 300-500 rms (I think) and the Treo being around 400rms (claimed it's underrated)...

I imagine that both have more than adequate sound quality, but what about output? Any experience w/the Treo line? The dealer mentioned how the Treo is a 'unique design that makes it louder than it should be', take that for what you will.

I'm limited on power (~300-400w rms) so I just want to make the most of what I buy and have something that will hopefully get louder than my Ascendant Audio Atlas12...
