best pair of 12's

[bigdub_diesel 10+ year member]

Im lookin for a pair of 12's on ebay, nuthin too special, just a solid sub with some decent SPL. I like some SQ, but im mostly an SPL guy. Ive been browsing ebay, and ive found what i think are some solid subs for roughly 150$ a pair. Problem is, ive never heard any of them, so i figure ill ask on here. Money is kinda tight, and is going to be for a while, so 200$ is the ceiling, but im lookin for 2 subs. Im lookin at Kicker CVRs for bout 150$, Pioneer TS-W307's bout 140$, and Cerwin Vega VMax 12.4 bout 200$. Ive got a 1000 watts to give em from my amp, only problem is the VMax 12.4s are 600 rms a piece, which would require 1200 watts, but i dont hav that much, so which would u guys reccomend, the CVRs or the pioneers fully powered, or the VMax's a bit underpowered, as well as any other pairs i can find on ebay for under 200 that u think would be worthy. THanks for any input

best at what?

getting loud? sounding good? taking the most power? looking pretty? smelling like wildflowers? best price? best name? best in a small box? best in a big box? best ported? best sealed? best to listen to while wearing girls underwear? best red cones? best linear excursion? best efficiency? best to wire to 1 ohm? best daily? best competition?

your question is both vague and stupid (i know we have always been taught there is no such thing as a stupid question, but in this case either the question is stupid or the person asking, and im giving you the benefit of the doubt //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif ).

dude, i kinda thought when i said spl mostly, that was my indication of what i was lookin for, but i guess u didnt read that, i made it very clear ive got enough to power the cvrs and the pioneers, and the cerwins will be a bit underpowered, so im askin a simple question, box is not an issue, i havent build it yet, price is also not an issue bc i listed the prices of them and my price range, im gettin dual 4 ohm with any sub i get, so that isnt a factor, and i said im not lookin for anything special bc i dont hav that much money, so i dont kno why ud ask about competition, does it sound lik im lookin for competition with those subs i just named. Sorry if the title of my thread got u, but please read my thread before being as ******* about it, or dont comment at all

Don't waste the time with the RE SE's if your only going to give them 1000watts.

I was just in Celina for a bench press competition. The kickers are always a good choice. I heard a cerwin vega 124, it wasnt bad, but it wasnt the vmax, it looked kinda like a dub 7 with a 6 sided basket, that sounded really good. I would say the kickers.
