I kno what everyone is going to say "you get what you paid for" and I kno that. But I was just wondering if there is a good, cheapest SPL sub that can at least handle 750WattRMS.
I was looking into Treo SSi 12" but they cost around 300$ and I cant afford it right now.
Thank you

There are no cheap SPL subs period. SPL subs are intended for high power high excursion uses. This costs engineers alot to come up with and cost alot of money to market and make, so no there is no cheap SPL Sub
Are thier cheaper subs that get loud? Yes, are they SPL oriented? No
The eclipse 7100 series subs run about $175-$250 each and they will get quite loud with the right enclosure, and 300-600RMS

I'm not sure I'd call *any* Eclipse sub an 'SPL' sub.. low efficiency lotsa low-end extention on those babies...
Actually, reading the original post, I'm not sure I'd disagree with thefivespeeder's recommendation...

Go with the W6 for sure. Just make sure it's in good condition.

That's my opinion. Take it, leave it, or correct me.
