I honestly don't know if it would outgun the deftech or not. But DefTech is not known for high performance subs. I'd bet that a Shiva in a ported enclosure, like the Dharman, would probably be good competition to the super cube. The fact is, with 1KW+ power you need a driver with high excursion/power handling. That excludes any driver I'm aware of in the $100 range. You're probably looking at $300-$500 for a driver with that kind of power handling.
Here's what a customer of mine had to say about a dual Tumult setup that I built for him:
"Wow. Sound is great....While it is impossible to do an A/B, the tumults easily sound as good as the dual Aerial SW12 and Revel B15 that I have listened to-quite possibly
better. I have never heard a dual HGS-18 system, but this is clearly better than any single HGS 18 system that I have listened to."
