What sub should I get

Well there is a potential buyer for my Atlas 15.
I am selling it for 100 bucks

Just wondering what I should get. Listen to only rap/hip-hip. I will prolly make another ported box. Just looking for some ideas...

one more thing

budget is like 200-300
And I have a 500rms@2ohm amp right now. But I will upgrade that soon too...

Haha you read between the lines very well...Chad offered to hold me an Atlas 15 for $90 brand new when the Adire nonsense was goin down, but I opted not to. I wish I would have gotten it to mess with the QTS settings.

I love the sub. I just want a smaller box to be honest with you. Some guy at work told me he wanted to buy the sub, thats why I wanted a new one.

Yeah if you want a smaller box make about a 2.5cuft box ported and throw the MX in there with 500 watts...it should be all you need.
