I'm sure this thread has been done before, but I'm a noob and want to start an updated one. So what is everyone's favorite subwoofer they have owned or heard? Not necessarily the loudest or cleanest, just one that you fondly remember. My favorite would probably be my brothers Ascendant Audio...

I'm a first timer. I was thinking about doin 2x 12's in my 02 Highlander. I almost have my Bachelors in EE so I think I can handle it, my biggest mistake will be being too confident and messing up something somehow. People say 12's can get lower but might introduce some delay in the output...

A buddy of mine needs a bass set up but he's on a budget, about $250-$300. He wants the most bump for his buck. He wants a couple 12's or 15's and a mono amp to go with them, and he isnt very picky, just looking for some loud bass. Suggestions?
