Need suggestion on a 12" SQ subwoofer

Well I have figured out which deck I am going to get, and front speakers.

-Eclipse CD5030
-Morel Tempo 6.5

Now I need to find a nice SQ subwoofer. Does anyone here have a suggestion for a subwoofer that is between $300 & $400.

EDIT: I would like something that is around 400 to 500 RMS so I don't have to spend tons of money on an amp.

All good recommendations. Jalat has a good deal going for a nice lil combo. DLS 10" and Alpine amp. That deal will be hard to beat.

Well, you gonna get lotsa choices. According to some all amps sound the same and according to some others bass is bass. So if you decide to be on that side of the fence anything will work the same. All choices above are approved by tons of happy users and you wont be disappointed by either. A good start would be how big the box is going to be or whether it will be ported or sealed, so that way we can figure out what size sub you will be needing. That Nobelium does sound incredible and the 10" needs around 1 cube sealed but not less. Jalat is offering a deal that is unbeatable.

According to some you should try to find the most expensive product you really cannot afford and almost can't find. Then process the bananas out of it and it will be perfect. Really, looking at the deck you have, they would also believe you're destined for mediocre sound already anyway.

Reality - listen to as many as you can and choose the one you like the best that will fit in the space you have.
