yeah i guess i worded that wrong. I meant he wants a sub that will do well wiht 500 watts. not something that needs more watts than 500 to get moving.

All of the woofers I mentioned will "move" just fine with 500W.

Yeah thanks capone28, I am looking for a good QL subwoofer that can go up to 500WRMS, I am only going to be giving the subs 500WRMS each and I don't want to waste money on a sub that handles more than 500WRMS because it will be a waste. I'm sure the reason the subs mentioned are so expensive is because they can handle around 1000WRMS, but I need something at around 500WRMS which I'm sure is cheaper and is all I need. Thanks.

Elemental Design 12O perhaps ? Only $195/driver, too.

I thought it was made by rainbow, if you look at the arc 6.5 components they look very similar with the rainbow speakers. If they're made by image dynamics they must sound really good right.

A Magnum D2 has an RMS rating of 600W RMS. 500WRMS will work just fine.

As far as an O is concerned, you may like it. I, however, do not.

No, it's an honest review. Just not the sub for me, I've decided, which is not to say it's not a good driver.
