Good Cheap Subs

I was looking to replace my subwoofers and I was browseing around ebay and found these http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...&category=3291
and wondered if they were any good. I am trying to replace my two tens for preferably under 100 bucks, I know you get what you pay for but would these do well, or is there something someone else that you know of, any help would be greatly appreciated. Right now I have two ten Jensen 600w subs.

They arn't the best but they arn't as bad as pyrimid. my first pair of subs were 12" pioneers rated 500w. They sound better in a banpass box. they are far better than Jensen!!!!

I wouldn't get those, they look like a good deal til you look at the shipping. A $34 sub takes $28 in shipping? When I ordered my speakers for the home audio speakers I built, shipping was only $12 and the box was 2'w, 2' d, 3' long. I hate it when people do that on ebay.
If you have a desent amp, get a 12" adire shiva. They are $125 shipped from ampmanaudio.com. If you register at teamamp.com you will get a 5% discount. I got mine for my gf's 92 firebird for $119 shipped. (Was on my doorstep in 2 days!) It does really good, I was very impressed for one sub. I can even give you a link to the box I designed for it if you want. Check out the xmax of these puppies! I think you would be pretty hard pressed find a sub of this quality for less. The specs speak for themselves.

I got a pair of alpine type s 10" subs for ~$60 each from www.etronics.com I think shipping was like $10-15. I think ikesound has similar prices. Or like KJ said, the volfenhags are in about the same price range.

I second the praise for the Inifinity reference 12". I'm running one in a sealed box with 300 watts RMS going to it and it has great SQ and also produces decent volume for one sub. A ported box would allow more volume but SQ is more importent to me.
