Let's be serious. I have talked to guys who like Makie subs... they are a bunch of punks. They obviously have never heard these low rider speakers. These speakers put everyone else to shame. Anyone who buys anything else is going to be cryin' home to mama. Component part systems are here to stay! I will never have to replace a speaker and amp because I blew one. I will only ever replace what is blown. Speaker/amp combos will never dominate the music industry... they are total crap!

Sound
I bought one sp218 for my church recently. We do some really bassy stuff like Delerious, Stavascare, and some other hard rock/punk/metal type stuff. This enclose produces nothing but smooth loud bass all night long and was able to add that extra thump to our drummer's double kick bass style. I've also used it for our all night long Lord of the Rings movie festival. The ground was literally shaking in the area we were using it. I was afraid I was going to dislodge ceiling tiles on the level beneath us. It was truely amazing.

Features
These speakers rock all the way down to 25 db. How can you compare that with anything else on the market? It often get's run on 2,400 watts at 4 ohms off a Berhinger amp that has to be bi-amped to get maximum use out of it. The only thing I might want added would be a built in pyro technics display, but that might be too dangerous.

Quality
It's Peavey, I don't… read more need to say more.

Value
Dollar for dollar this subwoofer kicks anyone right in the teeth.

Manufacturer Support
Never had any problems, never had to call them.

The Wow Factor
Music should never be played without at least one of these. I hope to be getting another one soon. It's HUGE and BLACK what more can you want...
