Actually not much. Mainly I compared tubes versus Boxes. I listened JBL bass tubes, some DIY subs and Blaupunk Gz prior to my install, some with my friends and some with dealer. I liked this one. Haven't heard any big ones as I just planned for a budget sub.

Currently I am using a Prosound amp which is not a well known brand, which I got in a deal. Though the amp is good, planning to go for a bit more powerful one. Planning to get Blau 275 from JK.

It does blend well! As an audio lover I will never allow a sub to play independent.

It is tight and fast, which is my taste. I never liked boomy bass and thats why avoided tubes and ported boxes. This one matches my taste.

Never felt it overpowering. They blend well and are well balanced

Ofc yes. Whenever I hear a system, I used to compare it with my home audio which includes Rotel, Harmon/Kardon, Klipsch, Technics, Yamaha, Monster components. I know it is not good to compare a car audio with a home audio, but having heard many budget installations which concentrates on bass and improper balance, I am happy to say my car is not that bad
. I would recommend this as a budget sub to those who like mild, tight well blended bass along with music. Next step is some damping which is essential. Planning DIY as I dont think there's some one here who do it well. Need to know the materials used and would like to see some install pics.
