First let me thank everyone for their replies. I am totaly new to this and a little gun shy about making a decision. Sometimes I hate the "second guess" complex that this hobby comes with.

 I own both the Rythmik amp you mention and the Ep1500. Have any questions? |
a couple of questions...assuming they are the same price, which would you prefer? I have a dedicated LFE out on my receiver (as well as speaker distance control), so is there anything else I would need if I go with a pro amp, besides cables? It seems you can get more watts/dollar if you go with a pro amp, but lose some of the features. How would the Rythmik Audio amp match up with the titanic 12"? Is there anything I would miss??? What abour auto turn on/off...is that a pain?
I think I've decided on the 12" titanic, and the box design shown in the link that JDC so kindly put in his reply, but want the best bang for buck as far as watts. I may be biased because my old sub had 250 watts and was not near enough for me. I know drivers and designs are different, but Ive got that figure stuck in my head as being to weak! I understand what the designer says about watts...but 380 @ 4ohns (Rythmik), sounds so much better than 250 @ 4 ohms (PE)
I guess my biggest question for all would be...If you had to start over, building your first DIY sub, and had a budget of $400, what sub/amp combo would you go with? Am I on the right track???
