So I noticed this a while back and happened to stumble across it again... Apparently JL audio has a dual 12" fathom sub out now.

I heard the Gotham at a local store and was VERY impressed, but what less would one expect from a $12,000 sub? (I don't think it was worth that much... not with my salary at least!)

The Dual fathom comes in only at a mere $6,000 ;\) . I am just wondering how something like this would compare to the ep800. Just taking a quick look at the specs, it seems that the fathom has a 3000 watt amp, significantly more than the ep800. Also, the weight is about double.

Anyway, I highly doubt that anyone has had a chance to compare these subs... and likely most of us here haven't heard EITHER the 800 or F212 like myself. I guess I am just wondering at what point are you just blowing your money for more sub than you need. I would hope that for nearly triple the price the fathom 212 would have an edge over the 800... but I highly doubt it would be "three times better". It seems that with audio gear (and many other items) once you reach a certain point you have to start paying MUCH more for slight improvements. Who knows the fathom may not even have any edge over the 800.. in that case it obviously wouldn't be worth the extra price tag.

Any thoughts?
