After seeing the choices available in subs and the costs, I started thinking about building my own. I pretty much have figured out what I'm going to build:
My problem right now is that I'm not sure what I am looking for when it comes to the driver. What characteristics should a good driver for a closed box like this have? I'm still at the point where I'm not 100% up to speed what all the specs on a data sheet for a driver means, but I'm studying everything I can get my hands on.

"Don't tell me; we're about to go over a huge waterfall?"
"Yep."
"Sharp rocks at the bottom?"
"Most likely."
"Bring it on."
- a sealed sub
- 12 or 15 inch driver (probably 15... I want it to dig deep!)
- accurate bass rather than "boomy", ie better for music than HT
- fairly high power plate amp (300 to 500 W is what I'm aiming for)
- classic, square construction from MDF rather than sonotube
