175 to 500 is ~2.8 times the power, in theory thats quite a few dbs. What if the guy does not want a box on the bigger side? Its simpler to just get a cheaper efficient sub that can be fully fed in a non-ridiculous sized box that can sound just as good.

A 500 watt sub to a 2500 watt sub is a bigger difference.

The Pioneer sub originally linked is good, but I would not run it on that Logitech amplifier. I tested one on 500W in a ported enclosure tuned to 36 Hz and it surprised me. It sounded good and it got fairly loud as well.

I second the recommendation for the JBL GTO sub. I ran one of those for a few months and that was an even better bang-for-your-buck.

Best deal around.

Gotta agree with this. I have a g1 12 I got out a couple of days ago. I still can't believe how good it sounds for the money.

I beg to differ man, a sub with stiff @ss suspension will require a lot more to move. A fully fed sub performs differently from a sub barely getting drops of power. When its underpowered that much, the bass also sounds muddy and unimpressive as heck.

Also look what Mark Eldridge did with a pair of solo x 18s. I'm sure they where seeing FAR less then optimal power.
