alright, i wanna go a little bit bigger, right now i have two 12" jbl's, im selling those, and i only want to replace them with one woofer...
Is the Polk 15" MM2154DVC a good one to buy? I cant afford a very big amp, but i can get an 800w. amp easy, I was just wondering if this is a good buy... I can get one of these for about $120
What do ya guys think? Is this a stupid decision? or is it worth it?
thanks

The Polk 15" mentioned is good up to 400 watts RMS and is a 4+4 DVC. The price on this woofer has dropped a lot this year and a real good deal here:

This sub is best used in a 1.5 cf sealed enclosure. It does have a high efficiency rating of 90dB @ 1/w, 1m (2.83 volts)
The right amp would be a 400-500 Wrms @ 2 ohms rated Class D model. Since this is a sealed sub design, no need for a Subsonic Filter network.
The subs mentioned by Drew are definitely a step up in performance, power handling and price. These would be considered "investment grade" subs and depending on your budget, they may be out of reach.

PS Once you get in the 400-500 watt range amps, electrical upgrades may be needed. When going above that, electrical upgrades do factor into your overall costs.
