I've been looking around and only for a few subs that I like. I am
looking for one really good sub or 2 12" subs that will be a nice
addition to my car (2001 Dodge Neon).

My budget is around $500 per speaker. But I've only seen a *few*
speakers even hit that budget. Is the BEST I can get for around $500
RETAIL. I am looking for discount prices as well, a buddy of mine is a
dealer so I can get them pretty cheap. I am willing to spend the money.
So how about this.

If you had $500 to spend on two subs, which ones would it be? I'm
looking for SQ & SPL in the speakers. I haven't choosen my AMP yet,
that will be after I know how much RMS i am going to need to push. I've
looked at Treo, JL, Audiobahn. Tell me specific model numbers of what
you think is good.

Also, ARE there any speakers above $500? So another question, and I've
read lots of flamming over this question. So I'll word it right. I KNOW
there is NO SUCH THING as "the best speaker", but according to YOU...
in your _opinion_ which do you think is the best bang for the buck.
Thanks again!
