Default Looking to buy a new sub(s)*Think I found one, need advice*

So after Christmas and graduating College I've got around 300 bucks to spend on whatever. Time for a new sub...Anyways, I've got the mtx 1501D amp and I was all set to buy the mtx t9512-44 (actually i did buy it from sonic electronix.com~ebay~) but today i found out that they actually didn't have it in stock. that sub usually goes for about 600 but ebay rocks and they were selling it for 300 plus shipping. So canceled it and now I'm looking elsewhere. I don't really care if its 1 sub or 2 subs, 10's or 12's. I just want something good, loud, and won't get blown. I've been doing some research tonight and I've heard some really good things about the Pioneer Premier TSW3002SPL subs. and they look reasonably priced too. Any thoughts?

I'm looking to replace my 2 kicker comp 10s I don't want to upsize any as far as jumping to a pair of 12's or 15's, one or both is blown so I'm going to put my mtx 12's in there temporary till I can afford new subs

JL 10w6 is always nice... but if you are on a budget... any sub with the right power will hit hard...

Alright so I just found a brand new Pioneer TSW3004SPL sub on ebay for $113! Anyone heard anything bad about these? From what I've read they're supposed to be really pretty good. Any thoughts??

pioneer sucks, that's my opinion. go with elemental designs. either the Ov or SPV line.

I'd stay away from mixing sub sizes.... unless you're going to have then x/o'ed all crazy style... like the 19O in a ported enclosure tuned to ~20Hz and LPF'd at 40-50, then the 13O's in sealed boxes LPF'd around 80 and HPF'd around 40-50... Too much to worry about IMO.... if anything - get 2 19O's or 3 13O's.... don't mix them..
