200 dollars. 12 inch. 1,100 RMS. Can it be done?

[Roasted 10+ year member]

So far the closest I've gotten is the SX 12, which is 249 bucks.

I'm up for going with a single sub, or two, as long as they can handle 1 ohm/1,100 RMS. I prefer sealed, but MAY port down the line. I'd like 12 inch subs, because my SE 15 barely fits where it's at now... it's hard to make a nice box due to the wierd rear deck and how low it is.

How would the SX12 with 1,100 RMS sound versus the SE15 with 600 RMS? I want to make sure that downgrading sub size, but upgrading the sub itself, won't lose overall output from what I currently have. I also want it to justify the price. Meaning, I don't want to spend 250 bucks on a sub that gets me .002% louder.

Looking for a set of 12s too if a single 12 doesn't work out. Any possibilities? Open to anything.

How about this, with what you just read, what would you buy with a price cap of:

200 dollars?

250 dollars?

300 dollars?

My vote goes towards the 12" SX.

alpine type R will take 1100 for $150

well if you want to go sealed I'm voting the Alpine type-r's and or the RF Hx2's or stage 2 subs

i heard the power acoustic fubar is crazy and cheap

i wouldn't give the type r are that much power in a sealed though,

due to increase power handling of a vented enclosure

I wouldnt trust putting that much on a Type R. I can personally say that a L7 12 will take that power without a sweat.

Sealed have an increased power handeling capability

Not ported...
