Blew my JLW3V2, now what?

[maxspeedse02]

Well I experienced around 5 very enjoyable years out of this subwoofer, but I blew on me over the weekend.

I'm not looking to spend a ton of money on a replacement, I simply want something just like what was in there. I had a 12w3v2 d2 (2 ohm) powered by my kenwood KAC-829. The amp is 8 years old (hard to believe) and has powered my subwoofers well.









The box I use and plan on reusing is 1.25 cubic feet.

I'm not sure what to get, I haven't kept up with car audio in a while.

Keep in mind I'm on a budget (~$200) and not trying to shatter my windows or buy a new amp. Ideas?

The car is a 2002 Nissan Maxima and I have Rainbow SLC 265 powered by a SoundStream EGA4220.

I listen to a variety of music, Hip-Hop, Rock, Classic Rock, House. I really enjoyed the JL nice deep clear bass, and looking for something comparable.
