Default IPL Subs anybody??

I'm (quite possibly) in the market for a 'decent' sub** and I'm all at
sea....

I've auditioned a Mission which wasn't too peachy and have been offered a go
at some nicely veneered but ludicrously-priced REL 'minicubes' (Quake?) -
with tiny drivers that ain't even gonna beat my main speakers ('10 inch'
bass drivers). So, I'm wondering about throwing one together myself - anyone
got a good word for the IPL SW2 and SW3 Sub kits?

The price looks about what I had in mind and they do look appealing. (2
coats of black emulsion paint finish, if I can't veneer 'em nicely...... :-)

Or.....

What about one of these.....

..... and rip the innards out if it's crap (likely) and replace them with
'better' components - too wacky??

Or.......

While I'm on, I don't suppose anyone has any experience of these:

....under the heading of 'cheap and cheerful but *not* ****e'???

(I'm aware of what's available on eBay atm and I'm keeping an eye on
things.... ;-)



** forget previous silly remarks about it being for Home Cinema use only - a
****e sub is a ****e sub......
