Sqcomp know more than anybody else on here how much I disdain the idea of buying expensive subs... I once bought a 12" sub for $750 after tax... Saved over $100 on the purchase too. what a waste, sub was a quality built sub, but I later bought a sub for $370 that was better in both sq & spl... go figure... it probably wasn't as bullet proof tho as the spendy sub... and tho it was very impressive looking, it wasn't as shiney or cool looking at the spendy sub.

with that said, i'd pay $800 for a sub again some day... but it better meet or exceed one of the following...
1) 40+ mm one way linear movement & 15 - 18" in size
2) 32+ mm one way linear movement & 21-24" in size
3) 32+ mm one way yadda yadda & have an Fs of 12hz and play flat down to 10hz when installed in a 12-15cuft ported box.

basically, any of the three options would make for an amazing home theater sub... and someday, I plan on having a basement, and having dual 18" or 21" subs that fit one or two of the above criteria... if not all 3. Car audio tho.... ehhh... cars are a horrible environment for stereos, and spending soo much on a sub is silly, especially when considering the reason for such high price tags is usually for two reasons, 1) brand name 2) proprietary parts that usually aren't any better than what can be made using generic parts (but cost a hell of a lot more to produce).

I could show you a sub that would sound as good if not better than that focal for 1/4 the price. $500 or $2100... hmmm
