Now it has a custom recone on the sx motor and basket with sewn double leads and all the goodies. If I was to start fresh with nothing I would pick up a monster motor on the car audio forums, a basket that worked with it in whatever size I decided on, then send it out and have it built with the really good soft parts like mine has now. Total cost would be under $350.

I would agree. I used to run JL audio 10's in my car. I paid $$$ for them and built boxes specific to their specs. When the foam surround came off (not the first time JL's had done this to me) I decided I was done with them. I bought some Image Dynamics 10's to replace them. They were the basic Image Dynamic's 10's, not the high $$$ bad boy. the Image Dynamics subs out performed the JL's in every way and have never given me one bit of trouble.
