    Decided i miss my old bass, so i wanna do something cheap. I don't need heart pounding bass, just enough to enjoy my rock and rap a little more. I just want a little bit of help choosing between a few of these.

    Rockford Fosgate P2D415 - 15" Subwoofers - Sonic Electronix
    15" Dual 4 ohm Punch Stage 2 Subwoofer



    Power Handling:
    • Peak: 500 watts
    • RMS: 250 watts
    Parabolic Triangular Geometry cone support system for reduced piston flex
    30oz. double-stacked magnet assembly increases excursion capability
    Compliant linear spider eliminates need for break-in period
    2" anodized aluminum voice coil former stays up to 100° cooler
    Reversible concealing ring hides mounting screws
    Large roll surround allows for 20% greater linear excursion than standard surrounds
    Stitched-in tinsel leads handle tons of power
    Custom 10-AWG nickel plated push terminals
    Venturi-effect cooling design
    Frequency Response: 20-250 Hz
    Sensitivity: 86 dB

    Rockford sub, generally decent from what i've heard.

    Cerwin-Vega Vega154 - 15" Subwoofers - Sonic Electronix
    15 Dual 4 ohm Vega Series Subwoofer



    Power Handling:
    • Peak: 400 watts
    • RMS: 200 watts
    Mica filled polypropylene cone woofer
    Red rubber surround
    Bumped back plate with vented pole piece
    Woven tinsel leads
    2" Voice coil
    Sensitivity: 88 dB

    Not sure on this, any experience with this brand?

    PowerBass M-154D (m154d) - 15" Subwoofers - Sonic Electronix
    15" Dual 4 ohm M Series Subwoofer



    Power Handling:
    • Peak: 850 watts
    • RMS: 425 watts
    4 Layer, non-pressed paper DDC (Dynamic Damping Coating) finish cone
    Large roll santoprene surround
    Massive motor structure for high power handling and maximum output
    Black emissive coated backplate and pole piece dome shaped to maximize air flow from the vented pole piece
    Chrome push terminals to guarantee optimal power transfer from the amplifier to the subwoofer
    Rubber mounting gasket allows an airtight seal to eliminate bass robbing air leaks
    BASV specially designed resign coated high temperature voice coils ensure accurate linear excursion and high power handling while maximizing thermal hear dissipation
    220 oz Motor structure
    Frequency response: 22-400 Hz
    Sensitivity: 92 dB

    Seems like a poor quality sub because it's made of paper, right?

    15" Single 4 Ohm Frequency Series Subwoofer

    Power Handling:


    FLI Audio FF15-F2 (ff15f2) - 15" Subwoofers - Sonic Electronix
    • Peak: 1200 watts
    • RMS: 400 watts
    • Minimum input: 200 watts
    Impedance: 4 Ohm
    One piece absorbing polypropylene cone with FLI EYE technology
    Heavy roll butyl rubber surround
    New rubber gasket design
    Dual spider for smoother movement and greater linearity
    Enhanced voice coil surround
    Nickel plated spring terminals
    2” Dual layer aluminium voice coil
    52 Oz Ferrite magnet is 5-1/2" in diameter and 1" thick
    Y25 Magnet rating
    Frequency response: 20-1,500 Hz
    Sensitivity: 90 dB

    Big magnet, doesn't seem terrible but why such a big frequency range?

    then there's always a deal like this
    10" CompVR Component Subwoofer

    Power Handling:
    • Peak: 800 watts
    • RMS: 400 watts
    Dual 4 ohm model

    Rear Cone Brace: Offers unmatched strength and resistance to deformation
    Ribbed Santoprene Surround for Linear Cone Motion
    Silver-Coated Stamped Steel Basket
    Stitched Surround: Ensures the cone and surround won't separate, even under the highest loads
    High-temp Polyimide Film Voice Coil Former
    Dual Ultra-Length Voice Coils
    Perimeter Venting
    Sleeved High-Power Tinsel Lead Wires
    Spring Loaded Nickel-Plated Terminals

    Buy one get one free


    Plan would be to wire all setups for a 2 ohm load on some cheap amp.
