Need a little input about 10s

[Uniballer]

Outta the game for awhile and am on the cheap right now. Just got my car a set up 3 months ago so everything is is pretty new except my now blown JL 10w4. Pushing about 200w rms to sub bridged with 0.8 cf sealed. Without building/buying a new box or amp, Which 10" sub would you get for around $75 or less?

Considering:

Infinity REF 1060

Polk DB or DXI

Alpine swe 1043

Of course, any other recommendation are welcome. I'm just way out of it for the last 10 years. That JL showed me love for a long time. lol

Thx for the help.

i would probably go with the polk for your best bang as far as drop-in. other than the first perfects, infinity kind of makes me nervous on the quality level. i always hear 2 things about the alpines- they are just as overpriced as jl, and anything below the type-r's is not worth it when better can be had for less. the polk does look, feel, and i hear performs nicely. one sub i did recently have good experience with, to my surprise, is the powerbass pbx. i'm a little tired to pull other good value subs that fit your needs out of my you-know-where, but i know they are out there. i'm assuming you just want a walk-in and then drop-in purchase, though, from the sounds of your choices....

Gunna get flamed for saying this but whatever... Maybe a Kicker Comp? I liked mine when I had them...

May be able to find the old model cheaper too... In a prefab of a RF 300.1 they pounded! I have a 12" new model Comp BNIB that I need gone too...

Kicker just redesigned most of their stuff too, so the 2007 models are going for a little cheaper than they were.

I had a CVT10 in about .8 ft^3. I liked it, sounded good to me, but it was also my first sub lol.

I had thought about the Kicker but the recommended box size is 1-2.4 cf. I don't see how I can make the box bigger. One of the main things I have concern with is the box size. What's the best way to "shrink" the volume inside? I heard polyfill makes the box "act" bigger which confuses me a bit...

DB and DXI seem really similar with the main difference I see is the Xmas being 7.5 and 15.8. Both are .66 cf so I'll need to fill the volume a little I think... Do you guys think it's worth the extra money for the DXI?

Any amazing "no name" brands that are worth it?
