Ok, I have a 97 tahoe and id like to keep my one 12" sub woofer system to save space. Im more interested in SQ but I definitely want something that gets LOUD!! It will be pushed by about 700-800 watts. For this type of vehicle which sub woofer would you recommend that cost around $350. Thanks in advance!!!

that's not much power to get LOUD on a single sub.

Build a transmission line box. Make the port are the same as the subwoofer cone area. Tune the port to the resonant frequency of the sub. It will be clean and fairly loud. The port length will be 3/4 of the frequncy wavelength. For example if the Fs of the sub is 30Hz the port needs to be 339" long. You can also get away with running half the port are which will shorten the port to half the length or make it 170" long. This box will work very well with limited power.
