wel.. they are completely different subs.. the Ti has a better cooling system, thus more power handling. a Lighter cone, More excursion, a foam srround. Completely different motor structure and suspension. Can be used in ported enclosures. Sounds just as phnominal....can get insanely loud when ported. With 2000Wrms a dude with a 2000 Jetta and a pair of 12" Eclipse ti's hit a 164.2 ...

Cheers
Mohawk

Bake..the Ti's are less power hungry than the alums..they have a lighter cone and stronger magnet structure.. Are you going for a single..or 2 sub setup?

Okay..sam eprice range as the alums.. Image Dynamics IDMAX..$305 shipped from MMXpres.com but there's a 3-5 week backorder..More sensitive than Eclipse alums and all the sound quality..and more power handling..

How big of an amp you plan on running?
