Default Need recommendations for good, cheap subs

Can someone recommend me a good subwoofer that's under $200 for one? Preferably something 10 inches or bigger.

What kind of amp do you plan on powering the sub with?

check out ebay.com -- there are some legacy subs and amps on there that you could probably get for like $200 for all of it, just pay attention to the detail about the watts rms and everything but for the price i think it's worth it because i got mine for around 160 and once i bought a box off ebay for them they sounded great.

thats good that you enjoyed your purchase.


legacy is not a brand that i would recommend. even for a really budgeted system.

for $200 you can get a JL W3 or an IDQ for a bit more. they both would only need about 300 watts, and you will like em. i know i do/did. :thumbup:

one thing to remember, its your car, your wallet, your ears...youre choice. so listen to the suggestions first hand, then buy.

when you are listening at a car audio shop, be aware of the amps being used to them, and the box they are in. both can make a sub sound like crap or sound great.
