I am selecting some 18" subs for my scoopers and I am thinking perhaps Celestion FTR18-4080F's paired with Bryston 7B's. I know that's a lot of money in amps but they are the only ones I trust so much from my recording background and I'm not very well versed in selecting LF drivers. I'm still learning what is "high end" for LF driver brands other than TAD and Celestion and what amps are more pro or consumer grade.
Bryston 7B
Description: Solid-state monoblock amplifier. Output power: 600W continuous into 8 ohms (27.8dBW), 900W into 4 ohms (26.6dBW). Gain select and sensitivity: 29dB (2.3V in = 600W into 8 ohms), 1V setting; 23dB (4.6V in = 600W into 8 ohms), 2V setting. Frequency response: not specified.
4080F
Nominal diameter 457mm/18in
Power rating 600Wrms
Continuous power rating 1200W
EIA power rating 800W
Nominal impedance 8Ω
Sensitivity 97dB
Frequency range 30-3,000Hz
Voice coil diameter 100mm/4in

What do you think? Any suggestions?
