Ok so I recently changed my diy from a 3 cu ft ported to a sealed 1.5, I thought I would be able to turn up the gain more but no, I'm running A Dayton 540w rms @ 4 ohm, with a svc db 10. Needless to say I need another driver, my budget allows about $100. I've been looking at anything from Polk mm12's to l5 kickers. Infinity kappas. And Memphis mojos. I have a friend who has a mojo 12 he will sell me for $80. Btw this is a home theater application. Not really for music. What does everyone think?

    Just a thought. But Elemental Designs has some B-Stock subs for sale pretty cheap. Might wanna check them out.

    I checked out the e designs subs. I couldnt really find anything in my price range with the amount of power handling i need. I found something on crutchfield. JVC Arsenal subwoofer. 12'' . 600w rms and 1800 max. $100 buy one get one free. so I figure ill keep one and sell the other on craigslist.
