basically need a sub that'll pound really hard with music at parties. I'm more concerned with the music application than the HT part. I'll be powering it with a Crown XLS-202 amp that I have which will give it ~400w continuous at 8ohms and, clearly, more at less resistance.
Still, I'd like to leave the option open to switch to a higher power plate amp in the future, so it'd be nice to get a relatively efficient sub. So - really all I need is the driver itself.
It'll probably need to be at least 12", a 15 might be better suited for my application though, since I want it to fill a relatively large room with a lot of bass.
I have Selenium speakers right now so it'd be cool to get a Selenium driver to match, but it's not particularly important to me. I was looking at the following:

but I'm not sure if they might be more HT oriented than I want. I'm looking to keep this around $200-$250 for the driver.
I also looked into getting a prebuilt unit, something like this:

would probably do the job nicely. Do you think that's a better route to take than building my own in a custom box? It's a bit pricier but it comes amplified, so it may be worth it to go that way...
