i dont know what sub to get

i want good SQ & SPL balance sub but there is just so many chioces and i dont wanna be disapointed with what i get

i can spent between $300-350 for one sub
and it needs to be about 500-850 RMS: 4ohm DVC if RMS is closer to 500 RMS and 2ohm DVC if closer to 850 RMS

i have a hifonics BX1205D amp to run it with so thats what imgaugeing m ratings on (based on the "hifonics 70% assumtion"

i have a memphis dealer about a block away from my house who is trying to talk me into getting an M3 for $250 and then i might eventually get 2 but i just dont know if i want something better.
should i go for that?

what do you reccomend?

hmmm maybe a diamond d9... what do they run for now. around ur price range i think.... (online of course) or possibly a sub from the new ascendant audio line which comes out soon! Treo engineering has some great subs. ask B about the Tsx's he should have his installed soon i think. so many subs to choose from lol. do u like any particular brands?

well 4 ur amp Terry - i will rec 2 alpine 12 1242D model because i DO own a pair so i'm saying this on actual experience .

I love my Rs cause they do hit low notes quite good & they are loud & accurate IMO & 2 me u can't get a better bang/buck sub from a onlinestore currently .........

i looked at the D9, its like 420 on woofersect but i never even heard a diamond sub b4 so i donno if i wanna drop that much on that sub

i was also considerin a M3 mojo, i know it isnt known for SQ but i have the dealer in twon here and i have always liked the way memphis sounds.

i also thought about the W6v2 but the guy at the memphis shop said he never liked JL because they have too expensive and overratted

alex: titanic?

other suggestions?

i already built a ported box(i dont know what its tuned to but the vmaxes sound fine or its easily sealable) for 2 12's and i have a memphis universal box for 1 12 so i need either 1 mega sub or 2 other subs

i might be able to streach for $400 if i save up a little longer

ported- specs r at www.reaudio.com, make your own, way cheaper then having someone make one for u cause they dont sell boxes like this at your local audio store
