Is none an option? None of those brands are known for making subwoofer, at all.

Steer clear of those ones...

I have one Infinity Reference 1050W in a down firing enclosure under the back seat. It's not loud, but sounds good. The main reason I picked it was that it would fit in my box depth wise without a lift kit on the seat. See my gallery for picts. I do want to try the Kappa series.

I can't say any would be my choice as well. Give us some specs such as speaker box mounting depth. If you have a amp, what's the RMS rating is on it? How much you're looking to spend max. Are you looking for sound quality or want it loud?

I am looking for a decent medium between sound and loudness, and I would like to keep the price between $100-$150 if possible.

The box would either be from SupercrewSound ro MusicMoose. (any other suggestions other than building my own?)

Depth 5.5 .7cubic feet
Depth 5.25 .6cubic feet

The amps I am looking at are all about 150rms at 4ohms and around 350 rms at 2ohms.

Image Dynamics IDQ 10.

Is that $100-150 each or total? If each see above. If total: Elemental Designs 11Kv2.

Or are you talking just one sub? Either way, see above.

Well I was only planning on putting one 10'' in the truck, so that amount is total for one.

Then the IDQ would be great. They are an excellent SQ sub. They will get pretty loud and need little power to do it.

Id look around a little more too.

Out of the ones you listed I would go with the Eclipse.
Im a fan of their older Aluminum subs, but havent really had any experience with thier newer ones. Id love to try out an 8200 though...
