With that many watts it may even shiver me timbers!

Hey Kerry - I think the wattage needs to be matched to the right driver to get a good result. I rebuilt my Hsu sub several times over the years and it has gone from a stock low power 125watt sensitive driver combo to a high power punch you in the gut kit. With the Maggies, I was wanting for some of that punch that the Hsu was not really designed for. It was great down to 18hz, but I really needed assist in the 30-40hz area as well. Probably my next build will be a 15" large cabinet to go with the 12". Something that can go a bit lower than where I am now.
