I have to second that. I picked up two Rage 12" subs from Audio Concepts, and loaded them into 2 cu. ft. (net) sealed enclosures. These drivers are dual voice coil units, each coil rated four ohms, 100 watts. The active crossover in my Yamaha receiver has a crosspoint of 90 Hz, and I'm running the sub out from the receiver into an old QSC model 5.1 power amp, rated at 120 WRMS per channel into four ohms.
The second driver will be used in an identical two cu. ft. box as a bass guitar cab. For the bass, I'll probably run the coils in series, and power the driver with a 200 - 250 watt (into eight ohms) bass head. Since the driver was designed for sub applications, I will likely need to use tens or eights for mid-hi, with an active crossover, turnover frequency to be determined.
The point is, decent car subs can work well in other applications. At USD $39.00 per driver, I could not resist, and so far, I have no regrets.
