I know its asked all the time but whats the best sub for ME?

[austintm1991]

Im planning on installing one 12" sub in a 99' BMW 323i. My max spending is $200. I have a JL 500/1 amp so i need a sub running around 500 watts RMS. I am looking for sound quality over SPL. I want it to be able to hit the really lows in the bass. Thanks for the help if im lacking info for you to help me better make a desicion just ask it.

ported or sealed?

i havent 100% decided. I think in depends on what sub is decided on. I want SQ but not sure If it will be loud enough since im only getting 1 sub. If its a really SQ and accurate sub than i will go ported. If not so much i would go sealed i guess.

Ran this exact setup one SW8200 + JL 500/1, man what a great combination!

You can play a 20hz tone from a test cd, moderate volume so as not to smoke it, and watch how pretty it looks! you'll feel the nice deep note, but you won't hear a thing, NOT even any type of motor noise.

Run this sealed, small angle back box right up against rear seat nice and snug.

How about an LI 12? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
