i am going to get just 1 15" sub and just wondering wot u guys think is the best one but it has to be below 600wrms so my amp can power it, also i dont want to spend alot of money, about £150 would be max!

i have also seen a 15" Audiobahn on bassjunkies.co.uk for £125 wiv sub box and was wondering wot u think of this?
this is the link for it;
Audiobahn Sub

cheers

if your not doing drags or anything mate, then seriously look at multiple 12"s or 10"s if you want loudness, as if you play anything like hiphop/rnb/dance/trance etc it will sound seriously cack on a 15".

although as for decent, well audiobahn cheap stuff is cack mate and your not really going to get a decent 15" for 150 quid - you can only just get a decent 12" for that. You looking at about 200 quid for something pretty good like a RE SE15 - which will handle 600wRMS - either at 8ohms or 2ohms (its a 4ohm DVC sub).
However, i would personally power that with a 700wRMS 2ohm amp as that way it leaves you with headroom to cut distortion from the amp etc etc

well they'll handle the really sub bass, but all the punchy kicks wont sound that great because the sub will be too slow to response - you will end up with a semi tight kick type thing

best bet, have a listen to one in your local ICE shop with some CDs and see what you think
