Me too...IMO a sub should only play 60HZ and down.....the midbass should take over above that. Of course not a lot of systems have midbass drivers unless you compete.
However, my favourite SQ subs that I have heard are:
Focal 38WX
IDMAX 12V2
Phase Linear Aliante 12
Focal 5WS
My favourite lower price subwoofer is the Kicker CompVR12.....easily one of the more dynamic subs in it's price range.

i would totally agree with you about the cvr12, a very good deep bass woofer with with great upper bass transient capabilities that isnt 500 dollars and doesn't require a kilowatt to do it, best woofer under 250 dollars. interesting that you put the 5ws on your list as a subwoofer, it really isnt a particularitly goof woofer under 40hz in my expereince, maybe with 6 or 8 of them...........

Where's Miluni ?!?!?!?
Mid bass is very important. But a complete system must be strong EVERYWHERE. But I agree on the midbass/sub-bass arguement. Not many understand midbass.
I still believe, for the money, Image Dynamics IDQ series are the best subs on the market for sound quality on a lower to middle of the road budget. When you pick one up and compair it cosmetically to the current market, it doesn't look like anything. But man does it sound fantastic. For pure SQ in my car, I'd take it over our IDMAX based on bang for the buck.

As for my setup, it would be in a sealed box around 1.5 cubic feet
