the box make more difference than the brand of sub both are decent subs , even cheap subs in a great box can rock. the cheapass generic boxes can only sound so good ?
try a either sub in single reflex band pass box or a variation on that box.

a $100. sub can really hit hard in a proper box. also note 12in woofers aren't the best for tight fast bass, but can still hit pretty hard.

even I've got one by default in my commy but it's a model built for abuse from 2000 watts of power on it alone, also remember some amps aren't good at running a loose sounding sub. check the dampening factor of the amps running the subs. a low number will sound crappy when driving them hard, they'll sound muddy and slow.
ok I'm waffling on now, stop me 12v king..lol

If you say so :hit:

What brand has the loudest car in the world? Pioneer. I would probably say Alpine has a sound quality advantage though, but there is still alot better than Alpine subs out there.

but for what ya pay and how hard they go they are wicked
i had type s 12 in my car with a dodgy 200 watts going to both and i got 137 db.
i got a new 2 channel 1800 watt amp.
rna the subs at 2 ohm and they were louder.
if ya got alpine subs run the at 2 ohm they are so much loud and sound better.

mate i used to think like you. alpine is nice and glossy with a bit more 'class' than pioneer and the like but really the brand war means nothing.
How did you make the subs run at 2 ohm?
say abrakadabra and hey presto the 4ohm VC is now 2!
run the at 2 ohm they are so much loud and sound better
no, actually it reduces the dynamic headroom, and as a result it will reduce SQ.
