[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8756747, member: 614752"] If you can get up to 1 cubic foot you should consider something with more cone area than a single 8" but do be certain you stick to manufacturer recommended box volume. Also location/position of the box and aiming of the sub will have a much more dramatic effect on your frequency response than the brand. You MUST do some testing to determine what works best in the "room" (car)! I wouldn't get so hung up on paying premium for a 500W subwoofer. Just don't shop the flea market brands and stick to stuff that is designed to function properly in a sealed box, use the recommended volume for your sealed box, then do some testing to figure out what orientation and location in the trunk won't leave you any really nasty peaks or nulls. If push comes to shove you can always just add some 30 band EQ to get you where you need from there. IMO just about any non-garbage subwoofer should be able to do what you're after with a little care in the install and some EQ. You'll get farther with a 300$ sub and 700$ worth of DSP than with a 1000$ sub just tossed in willy nilly. [/QUOTE]
