Best sub for $100

[OdieTRP 10+ year member]

I suspect I already know the answer but I'm curious to see what opinions are out there. This will be pushed by about 200 watts. I'd rather go with a 12", will probably put it in a ported enclosure for efficiency, but am looking for more SQ than SPL. This should be interesting.

i was gonna say spend $50 more and get a tempest, they can wang with little amounts of wattage.

the best 150 youd ever spend.

Shiva is very close to your budget; $125 shipped. And uses a slightly smaller enclosure than the Tempest //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Image Dynamics ID10v3 is very close to your price as well.....excellent SQ driver and would work great off of the wattage you have to throw at them.

I was wrong; I thought the answer would be the RE entry level 12.

Got about a minute of listening time with two of those last weekend...They are very capable woofers for the price. Sounded a lot like my shivas in the little time I had to hear them...

And since two of them cost the kid $10 more than a single Shiva I would not hesitate to buy them if I was in the market...That was a bit of a blowout price

Good woofer, needs more than 200 watts from what I've heard though.
