you won't get a competition 12" AND a box for $150.
$150 each, with some shopping, could be done.

We still love you over in SC GS! In fact, I was trying to put together a little get-together once I get the new tires put on my truck.

I got my Infinity Kappa Perfect 12" on ebay for $80 shipped. That would leave you with about $70 for a box, or box building supplies. I wouldn't classify the Infinity as a competition sub, but there are good deals out there if you check around. You could also check the classifieds, IIRC there were a few nice subs in the Northeast and Eastern Great Lakes classifieds. HTH.

That's bound to sound like shite. Why not spend the extra 100.00 and get something decent? An old cheap sub that would work well on minimal power would be a JL W0 or W1 series. Either one can be had on ebay fairly cheap.

I've got a 12" Rockford Fosgate Punch that I'll let go cheap. It's not the best, but it'll sound better than those. PM me for a price, if your interested.

shure thing but it will be a while il deal with what i have for now until i can afford a better sub

That's cool, but mine would have been cheaper than that.

The infinity kappa perfect sub is amazing, but nowhere near a competition sub. A competition sub is not clear what so ever and sounds like [censored] for regular music.

If you do not care about sound quality then that shoudl be the only reason why you would get a comp sub.

Dont buy Pyramid, those are horrible.

If you want the cheapest competition sub that is halfway decent, pick up a Power Acoustik MOFO series. Personally i would never buy that because i do not like comp subs.

But if you really want a comp sub for cheap and only want a sub for SPL then get that power acoustik mofo

I've already PMed him with this suggestion. It has slightly more power handling than a JL12w3 and of course slightly more excursion. It doesn't really give an applicable BL #, so i'm guessing the curve is flat as hell. Everything else seems about average, so i'd guess this speaker would compete with $300 type "mainstream" drivers.
