Which Subs to buy?

[_Newk_ 10+ year member]

I am trying to decide between 2 different sets of Subs on Ebay at the moment. I got about a $150 budget. These are the 2 auctions I am watching. Anyone with experience on either brand? I have never used Boss or Hifonics products before. They would be going into a Sealed Enclosure and powered by a Profile AP1200 Amp. I had 2 - 12" Audiobahn's but blew out the VC on one of them. They hit pretty hard in my Scion TC. If neither are a good fit, can someone point me in the right direction on what would work best for my budget? Thanks in advance.

Sub #1

Would go cadence over the other two if strapped for money. Stay away from Boss. Really nasty sub.

Welcome to the car audio world. It sucks the money right out of you. But if you're on a small budget, out of the two subs you picked, Hifonics would be my choice.
