Looking for info, good 12" woofer, under $300.

Hey guys. I am going to be looking to put a 12" woofer, ported, into my Bonneville. I was thinking somewhere along the lines of RE or Fi... but I am open to suggestions. It's going to be a Daily driver, but I am looking for a bit of SPL to go along with it. Amp will be decided upon once I am set on a sub. I am open for suggestions, would like to keep it under $300. Single 12". Let me know what you come up with.

Thanks, Casey.

Ok so at the moment I am at a slight toss-up between a RE 12"SX... an Fi Q(or other), SSA Icon, or whatever else.

I have already had a Type-R, and would like to branch out and try different brands.

How would subs such as the AA Arsonal 12"D4, or the SoundSplinter RL-p 12" stack up against the above mentioned subs?

No matter which one I go with, it is going to be ported and somewhere in the 32-35Hz range... unless the one I choose performs better at a different frequency.

Thanks for the help so far...

Um, sealed has no frequency range.

the BM 12 is 170 shipped from SI right now... I don't think there is anything better for the price

Um, sealed has no frequency range.

I meant ported... I edited my post.

Well I am not looking to buy right now... just looking for info. I want to purchase all my equipment at one time, so I don't have to wait to get it installed. It will most likely be a 1-2 month period before I am ready to purchase.
