$200 budget...what Sub?

[Deathwish238 10+ year member]

I have a $200 Budget...what sub should I get? New or used subs are all game. Here's what I'm thinking atm:

New Alpine Type R

Used IDMAX 12" D2V2

New Infinity Kappa Perfect 12.1 SVC

New O Audio TC2+ 12" SVC

New Resonant Engineering SE 12"

New JL Audio 12W1

Updated: New OZ Matrix Elite 12"

Any suggestions/comments are appreciated. I listen to rap, rock, metal, trance. I will be using a Pioneer Premier PRS-X720...puts out around 800W RMS @ 4 ohm

Edit: the OZ Matrix Elite 12" was brought to my attention and looks very nice.

all very different subs

IDMax would be my choice of that group

followed by the RE

the TC2+ werent loud enough for me and didnt slam the way I like but had decent SQ

Dayton Titanic Mk III (http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=295-404)

The Peerless XXLS and Dayton Reference are supposed to sound fantastic (http://www.madisound.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi?exact_match=yes&product=PES&cart_id=1666564.180, http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=295-466)....but they won't have near the output of something like the IDMax or OZ ME.

For $200 you can find a used Soundsplinter Rl-p

You could probably also find a used Stereo Integrity Magnum D2

If you want to be different, I've heard very good reviews of the HSU Research 1203: http://www.hsustore.com/asw1203.html
