how do these rate for a cheap SQ sub?
obviously they cant match it with something of higher qualiy but for a sub uner the $200 mark can u do much better?

definately
Phoenix Gold Tantrum
AMAZING sub, great spl, great SQ and at a budget price u cant beat it

hmmmm..... u think 1 pg tantrum over 2 apline type S's?

I was originally going to get the tantrum... but i found 2 alpines for $100 each

While spl would be nice i guess i was thinking the overall sound would be better
