Is this a good first 12" subwoofer setup?

Now I'm torn between the Pioneer and VVME. Both seem like they pack a punch but which will have a better quality AND loudness? I feel like the VVME probably gets pretty loud but does it really sound that great? How well do you think it transitions between notes/how deep of bass is clear? This is a tough decision, I was planning on ordering the things today but maybe I should wait. I COULD order one of these VVME's and see how it does, and if I'm not a big fan go for the Pioneer instead or vice versa - there's probably room in my budget.

Not too shabby for a 56 dollar subwoofer though... Someone should do a big ol' budget build with a bunch of these.

There's videos on YouTube of the higher power model gettin down

Those pioneer aren't known for great sq, the Vvme sounded good but I'm not an sq buff either. I would run a pair of the jf's or if you're stuck on a single 12 one of the rd higher power models

Just to be clear those vids are of the more expensive rd model which can be had for around $50

So how about the Crunch PZA1500.1? Would it work well with the VVME? I ordered the VVME already so I should have that in a few days - just have to find an amplifier and the right box now. I also ordered a 4-gauge wiring kit.

Another thing - I know it might sound stupid but should I just use regular 16 gauge speaker wire between the sub and the amp?
