The Brahma is a nice driver and I suppose if available space forces you to use a direct radiator alignment it would be tough to beat. On the other hand, you can horn load an eight (MCM 55-2421) and get a lot more SPL for a lot less money; about $300 less to be exact. The downside is cabinet size, but I've managed to get a horn loaded autosound sub down to 3.6 cu ft, which to my mind is well worth living with for the $300 driver price differential, not to mention the extra 10dB of sensitivity.
