What subs for 500w RMS?

[mavrix 10+ year member]

Gotta HiFonics Brutus bx500d. 500w @ 1 ohm. Any suggestions for a sub (or two) that I can score for around $200 - $240? No worries on meeting the RMS exactly; I'm not afraid to underpower if it still sounds decent. I'd actually like some headroom for when I move up to a better amp. Lookin best value for the $ here. SQL setup, more towards SQ. Thanks!

I would go with Phoenix gold ti 10's or a 15 If i were you i would buy the hifonics bx1000d it will give you more options for the future and doesnt cost much more

I've regretted rushing and buying the 500d since it got here. I can't power jack shit with it. Ah well, I'm stuck with it now. I'm considering getting a pair of ti10d's off of ebay ($115 a pair, not bad at all). Thing is, would I be able to get better for a few more bucks? I mean, I have the money, why not use it, you know?

Hey...that koda looks pimp. xbl2 for $230...not bad.

I've been considering the SE, actually. Or perhaps an SX. Think it would sound like *** off of 500w? I could give it full power from that amp; they're dual 2 ohms.

I was thinking the Kodas too. Xmax is decent at around 18 and with the XBL2 and decent displacement they should be a good all-around sub.
