new subs... heres my options

it is now time for me to buy a pair of 10"s since i finally sold my infinity kappa which was nice but i want something different... my options are: 2 10" Orion P series subs 500 rms a piece, 2 10" infinity reference subs 250 rms a piece, 2 05' kicker comp cvr 10"s 300 rms a piece, or 2 10" JBL GTO1004D 250 rms a piece. im having a hard time deciding they are all in my price range but the infinities and jbl's would be new... the kicker's and orion's would be used subs. i would rather have new subs but the kicker's have great reviews and the orion's seem like the best bang for the buck if they put out 500 rms a piece.
----------
just to let you know i can get either set of the four subs for under $150 shipped so if anyone has a suggestion of another set of subs in this price range post up and lmk.

i also might be able to get my hands on a pair of rockford 10" p3's for about the same price.

well it looks like its going to be the kicker cvr's i have heard good things about them in the past and i hope they will do well for me the only thing is these subs are slightly used compared to the infinity's being brand new. i also like the look of the infinity's much better. idk yet but i think ill just get the kicker's and resale them if im not happy with them.

Kickers are the best bang I think considering the price range youre in. I had a set of Rockford's a few years back that were nice as well for how cheap they were. If I had the choice for that money, I would go with the kickers and I think youll be happy with them. Like you said though, they will sell easy if you dont like them for whatever reason.

well i ordered the kicker subs... so it looks like they should be coming in in the next couple of weeks. but one thing i must say, when i posted this thread i found the kickers for $125 shipped USED. i looked on ebay and got a pair BNIB for less $. i paid $62 a piece shipped so it was $124 for the pair SHIPPED! i thought that was a killer deal and i couldnt pass it up. but i also have a profile 2000watt amp coming in as well. and i actually made money upgrading my system! how many ppl do you know can do that?
