Best 10" sub for under $100?

[Justinw303 10+ year member]

Internet or mainstream. I'm looking for something than can handle AT LEAST 300 watts RMS, but not more than 450. Sealed box, 1 ft^3.

And by best, I mean the best you've ever heard, or the one you would most recommend. I know there is no "best."

For SQ, I think Infiniti Perfects are running about $100... They're rated at 350rms.

Pioneer TS-W1500SPL... sure it can handle 600 watts but im running my 2000SPL's with about 400 watts a piece out of 750 and they get **** loud.

I believe ruckus is selling one for only $80 shipped //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

x2 the SQ on these is amazing for the price I had a pair back in the day (as in a few months ago) and I loved them for the SQ.

Yeah, my next setup, I'll probably get 3 or 4 of these 10"s. That would sound real nice...

Whats the sound quality like on the IA 187's?

Amazingly good for a sub that averages higher mic scores than the RE SE. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif IA 187s were not made to be SPL subs, so the quality is right up there with most of the above subs. Maybe not the Inifinities, but you get the idea. In 1 cube sealed, my 12s were a little peaky, but a 187 10 in the same enclosure would be awesome.

Mine share about 3.3 cubes @ 32 hz and 800 watts. They wang hard and love the low notes.

Also, DesertHeat has got Aura 10s for sale for like $89 shipped apiece. I have a pair of those, and as far as SQ goes, they're acoustic bliss in 0.75 to 1 cube sealed.

Alpine Type R can be had for about 100$ ebay.

Ok...

I'd have to hear more about Elemental Designs to consider them.

My best friend has a pair of Infinity Perfect 12.1's, so they're out of the question.

The pioneer is definitely not in my price range...

The 187 Series from IA looks very interesting...

I'd say right now the sub from IA is winning.

EDIT: I just looked at the 187 a little closer, and noticed 2 things.

For one, the msrp on IA's site is $130. Not under $100...

Secondly, the xmax is 13.2 mm peak-to-peak. That's not good... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif
