I am looking for a decent sub with just a little bit more of a focus on SPL rather than SQ, but nothing that just burps out SPL. I don't want to spend more than $150 or so. I am not against buying something that is used off of E-bay. My amp is a MTX-81000D. I was pushing a Alpine SWR-1521D. It lasted me 2 years and I just blew it. Any suggestions would be appreciated

I now realize that I left out a little information. I already have an enclosure. and I am looking fo r a 15" sub. My amp puts out 1000W X1 with a 2 Ohm Load and 500W X 1with a 4 Ohm Load. Any suggestions?

can you tell us the internal volume of the enclosure? is it ported or sealed? what is the brand and model # of the amp? this will allow everyone here to give you better suggestions.

if its 500w rms @ 2 ohms.....and your box is fair sized (3cf sealed or 4 cf ported) go with an adire audio tempest, i have one in my house and its wangin with 272w

I too, think the Adire Tempest would be a good option here. It is a 8+8 DVC. So, wiring it in parallel for a net 4 ohm load (500 watts RMS) will not overload the sub if the enclosure is within sub specs. At $150.00, this is a very good option to balance power output and still maintain adequate SPL.
