Rockford Fosgate
The entry level 'punch' series of fosgate doesn't really compare to the better ranges of rockford sub. This said, even the expensive rockford stuff doesn't compare to some of its competitors.
I would love to make a point here, your sound is only as good as your source. I looked at many options and the greatest improvement i found was to purchase a nakamichi head unit. The CD player has a 24 bit DAC, whilst neither alpine, sony or pioneer extend further than a 1 bit DAC. Plus 4 5V pre-outs, 'nuff said'

DAC = Digital Audio Converter
It's the bit that converts the digital info on a CD into an audio signal that plays through your speakers. Higher the bit read, the better.
Good quality home hi fi stuff has separate CD transports (the bit that holds and plays the CD) and separate DAC. It keeps all the circuitry separate to reduce interference and improve sound quality.
Agreed, you're better off spending your money on a better head unit and nakamichi is pretty good stuff but can get a little expensive.....
