A lot more goes into how your stereo sounds than just how big or costly the subs are. I only spent $300 for my two 12" kicker cvr subs, but all the other shit on top of that (the type of woofer box, the amp -and how it's set up-, the quality of the wire et cetera), they're all as important, if not moreso, than the subs in the "feeling" of the bass. 2Pac hits hard for me, low bass, mid bass, high bass.
No offense, but you don't know what you're missing...
