help me choose between these two subs based on parameters

Im debating back and forth between these two subs,

T7.104 - Tarantula - Subwoofers - Car Audio

and

MM1040 - Car Subwoofers | Polk Audio®

based strictly on the parameters alone not brand preference which do you think is the better sub?

The polks will require a lot less power to get them loud with that 91 vs. 82 sensitivity..

You can't trust TS params on cheap subs. Manufacturers can, will, and do lie or exaggerate them a lot.

the polks makes me nervous im swaping out a shallow mount now and the polk looks very similar. just doesnt hit notes well very quite even for a ten. but the polks parameters blow it away 25mm xmax to this ones 5mm and 91db to 83. But I like the beefyness and paper cone of the soundstream. Ive always been drawn towards paper cones I love them. very hard decision for me. Im afraid the polk wont drop and Ive heard some tens drop and hit hard in the right enclosure. so if you polk owners out there can commne ton it id love that.

At 200 a pop why limit yourself to just 2 mehh subs?? Much better out there for the dollar.
