Lookin' for a sub... ~300 w RMS

[takeabao 10+ year member]

Getting a PG Tantrum 300.2 for a great price.... 300 watts RMS x 1 (@ 4 ohm) ... although my friend has a 1200.1 that's measured at 1400 ish from the factory. This leads me to believe I might be able to bridge it and squeeze a little more power out've it despite the high impedance.

So my question is, I'm looking for a GREAT sub (or combination) that'll take that 300 ish watts and turn it into sonic awesomness on the SQ side. Looking to spend no more than around $150... (tight budget, I know)

I thought about the RL-i 8" but it doesn't come in dual-2 ohm so that's out've the question. Also thought about a trio of RE8's but that's going to give me a funky ohm load so I guess that's out.

Any suggestions?

I've owned a pair of model-2004 Alpine Type-S and I felt that I could do better for the money. Type-R's don't scream "SQ" to me and Type-X's are a bit too expensive...

Any others?

The 2005 models are redesigned and are alot better. Suppose to be a hell of alot better

2005 Type R's take on 500 rms +

The eD 11 ov.2 looks might pleasant... ~18 mm of xmax... from what I hear it's a pretty good SQ driver... any other underground suggestions?
