Polk Audio db1240 or Infinity Reference 1260W or...

[anmasher]

Greetings,

I'm looking to add a subwoofer to my setup. Requirements are cheap (preferably under $80), decent sound quality/thump quality, and 12". It will be powered by a Cadence CSA1000.4 and contained in a sealed box sized to the woofer. Cleaner sound is preferable to volume.

Here's what I've come down to:

Polk Audio db1240

Infinity Reference 1260W

So which one would you get or would you get something else?

Thanks for any suggestions!

I really love my Infinity 1262W. I chose it over Polk because it's rated down to 23Hz. Online Car Stereo has great prices on the Infinity.

I'm a big Polk fan. My Home system is all Polk. Plenty of people are happy with both Polk and infinity so hard to go wrong with either on a budget.

Just be careful with your gain running that much power. I'm running 400 into 2 ohms with the dual voice coil model and it's about right. Very good SQ with enough boom to make me happy.

The infinite will sound better and get louder. Polk kinda dropped the ball lately IMO and infinite really hasn't changed much. The infinity is much more efficient and will like the dealt box more

I was leaning towards the Infinity anyway because of the slightly better low frequency. That'll work, thanks for the suggestions!
