Sony SA-WX500 is a good sub in the 150 dollar price range ( if you shop around).
BUT once you get close too the 300 dollar range, Sonys start loosing their appeal to me, i start looking at "real" 12 inch subs, like DYIs, used 700 dollar subs, etc ...
The problem with Sony's is they use pretty cheap paper cones, cheap enclosures etc. They are very nice in the 150 dollar range though, I used to own one, no regrets.
I paid 400 bucks for my used Infinity IL120s , its 5 times the sub as my Sony...
