What is the best QUALITY sub< $150

[h3y]

hey guys, im looking at installing a new sub in my 09, accord. For right now the speakers sound really good and i dont want a new headunit because the car would look really weird with one installed. I have got 150 to spend on the sub alone (no amp and box, i have money set aside for those). My question is what would be BEST SOUNDING/QUALITY 10" sub that i could pickup for about 150. I am not looking for straight loudness as i do want my bass sounding clean. I have had recomendations of FI's, Boston Acoustics, and Diamond Audio's, specific models would be appreciated also.

PS. any ideas on amps to match with sub suggestions?

Mach 5 Audio IXL 10 =]

Such a great SQ woofer.

I think they are 165$ shipped to your door.

15$ over your budget but they are great drivers.

Boston G5's are very nice when it comes to SQ.

Ohhhhh... I forgot about theM! But they kinda tax you on shipping. To me its 40$ to ship but not sure about you.

type r or re se?

im interested in a couple of these "offbrand" subs like the Mach and IA, it seems like alpine is just more popular, does that necessarily mean a better product?

pioneer premier tsw1500spl. 600wrms dual 4ohm.

listen to alot of metal, and the double kick sounded awesome on it.

No.

Nor does being a "off brand" necessarily make a sub any better, either.
