Well I have a set of 12 just sitting here. Not into rockford fosgate. I used to carry them. There price is really too high. I like the mtx over them. same as kicker. I get more sound out of the mtx and kicker then the fosgate at the same power level. But don't get me wrong. There power series are good thou. Just not in your budget. If you don't spend money with fosgate. you get second hand. imo.
