(2) 18"......WOW, are you serious? The fathom only uses (1) 13" are they doing something magical that makes it necessary to run (2) 18" drivers just to give it a run for the money???
Well the Fathom is eqed and probably has LOTS of development time so that everything is optimised to work as one unit... Taking two 18's an pro amp and a PA EQ isnt really the same thing

Then again two 18 with 100L each sealed with LOT of grunt and EQ'ed should perform much better than a fathom (read MUCH better) simply due to the larger displacement

Note: There is a similar thread on AVS that compairs the fathom to DIY and it got nasty with the DIY vs JL fanboy crowd... lets not start this agin but i simply believe in HT displacement is king and for that reason a DIY sub with larger drivers should perform better if set up properly that a comercial sub ok
