    Put in a new amp today. Everything is great but my 10 year old sub is not up to the task anymore. Looking for a nice 12 inch sub, sealed box. Around 125 or so

    don't you already have an enclosure for the 10?

    if so, why don't you just stay with a current new 10?

    I've been using Polk Audio for the last 2 years and haven't had a problem yet!

    +1, or splurge for the 12w3

    I've ran a bunch of Alpine Type-R 12" subs too and they've never let me down. Good Clarity.

    10 year old sub. It's a 12inch Polk Momo. Might be slightly younger, but it's still old.

    Which one? Their new 12 inch Ultimax looks beefy.

    I have a 15" JL in a clear Plexy box. I ran a 250 mono amp to it. The speaker is older, but the amp is about 4 years old. it's REALLY cheap! Like how does $100 for all of it sound? I can snap a photo if you're interested in it.

    Don't buy used subs unless you are SURE they are in pristine condition......
