I was going to put some thump in my acura RL but now I want SQ I want a 12 in a sealed box off a alpine D class amp at 400watts @2ohms i only want to spend upto $200 on a sub what ever sub I choose I will have a box built to spec. right now I'm looking at

TCsounds TC-1000
Image Dynamics IDQ
Eclipse SW7200
JL 12w3v2

any sugestions?

Actually, the Eclipse would be my vote out of the bunch. Nothing against JL, but i like the non-mainstream brands... and it is quite over priced for what you get. I have heard the level up from that Eclipse and they were amazing subs for budget. They had great sq and had a good amount of loudness to them. I would suggest a Stereo Integrity BM. The list price on them is higher than you have listed, but from what i hear people talk about, if you contact dealers directly, they will give you better prices. They are execellent drives, very good sound quality and definitely have a lot of boom to them.

AA arsenal would be another to consider....

Image Dynamics or Eclipse from what you have listed.
Another good one for the list would be the Massive Audio RW12 or
the Fusion PPSW12E or H
Those fall into your price range too and are really good SQ subs.

Check out diamond D6

I second checking out Diamond Audio or dare I say AType R ?

Not for a pure sq sub.....

These are specifically an SQ sub and can work in a small sealed box. Most of the guys using them are sending them ~500W. I'll be ordering one next month to replace my XXX. Not to mention they're plenty under your $200 budget.
Any of the subs you listed should work, though.

Focal or morel for sq

Oooh, forgot the Peerless XLS/XXLS. I'm not sure of the difference between them, but they are BAMF SQ woofers.
