Looking for a 12" sub under $100. SQ

[cchheett 10+ year member]

Looking for suggestions on a 12" subwoofer under $100. I will be using it in a sealed box. I also would like to keep it under 500 watts. It will be used for mainly pop music. I don't need it to be heard from 2 blocks away, but want it to sound great inside the truck. I hope its possible to suggest something. Thanks for your time.

100 bucks is a little low. Might wanna up your budget to around 150ish or so... Just my opinion.

This.

The only thing I know of under $100 is a kicker CVR. They're ok sealed and sound ok on country and pop music but nothing I would consider SQ.

American Bass DX124 12" Single 4 Ohm Car Stereo Subwoofer

Sundown Audio E12 | 12" Sundown E-Series Subwoofer they are a Authorized Sundown Dealer too btw.

Powerbass M-124 12" Subwoofer

American Bass XO1244 | 12" Dual 4 Ohm Car Stereo Subwoofer

I know the Powerbass and Sundown will do good sealed, but you would have to check with American Bass on their subs..

I appreciate the suggestions. For just and shits and giggles , what suggestions would you guys suggest if the cost for the subwoofer was around $150. I might spend some more money if the sq was great. Thanks again.

those american bass XO's sound pretty nice sealed. I had a pair in a sealed enclosure for a while. Also, the new alpine type E's and type S's sound good for under 100

edited: woops, meant type E

Dayton Reference HO easily!

I highly doubt you'll find better SQ at the price point.
