Jl's like BIG boxes

I've installed tons of w3's, w6's, and w7's

They all perform better in big boxes.

You should check out fi subwoofers. Their new x series is their entry level subs, the 10" would do very well in a sealed enclosure and is on the lower end of your price range. Now if you want something more powerful the ssd line will suit you and still in your price range. Both lines would do well in sealed enclosures due to their low qts values.

I have two 12" ssd's in ported boxes, they slam while still mantaining a good sq. I have had them for about a year and they are still standing strong with heavy daily use.
