subs 1000w+ under 400$
hello, i was recently in the city ( edmonton) and i came accros a alpine type x 10'' sub for 350$. it was a display modle, never used. would this be a good deal? i have read lots of good and bad reviews. Im will be going back to the city in a few days to do more looking around, im looking for a sub that will go with my ultimate t3 1000d. so it would have to be a bit more then around 1000 watts rms.
In my car at the momment i have a clif designs cd150c 15'' sub and i dont think it is all that great, but i want some thing that is going to pound more then it for sure. i have a sheet of 3\4 mdf and im going to build a box for for this new sub. i want to go ported and tune it rather low.
my 18th birthday is comeing up so i will have a bit more money, but i really dont want to spend it all on htis one thing so im thinking not more then around 400$. i need money left over for going to the bars, ****, fireworks and lottery tickets....

IMO do what I did...buy one good quality sub...then down the road when you have some more cash to spare buy the matching sub...your ears and chest will thank you...I bought a JL sub back a few years ago and have been driving around with 1 only until recently...having 1 sub till I had enough money for another was well worth the wait instead of buying 2 cheaper quality subs...now with 2 subs my system pounds...patience is well worth the wait.

Ya on fleabay you could get a 12" type X shipped to you with customs under $300. But then you are looking at no warrenty. Check out Fi Audio, they are pretty new to the scene but I have heard nothing but great reviews. The people who run it are the same people who did RE before they sold it off. They custom build each subwoofer with a variety of options. You could get a Q series 15 shipped to you for probably just over $300, this will easily handle 1000W with 27mm of Xmax, pretty nice for the price.

that being said, from my experience, the X needs power. 800W is bare minimum IMO and it's barely working with that, so 1kw might not be enough to get what you want out of it. it will take a lot more. for 3-400 I'd look into something a little more efficient.
