The JL stealth box costs about 700 bucks and it comes with a single 8" W4.
the MTX thunderform comes with 2 thunder 5000 10" subs. for 320 shipped

<< In My opinion, The MTX sub may just be your best bet. The JL is a great
 sub, but it's pricey. The thing about JL is they don't make their own subs,
 so they don't have any control over the quality. 1 in 4 JL subs is
 defective. They also have a tendancy to rip away from the spider or
 bottom out. I've never been impressed by a JBL sub. My phylosophy is:
 stay away from any speaker that is made in Japan. They are all made at
 the same sweat shop, by the same kids. They need to make so many
 speakers, that they use cheaper components that they can order in bulk
 so they can build the speakers faster. But this compromises quality.
 (Alpine and Rockford have recently started doing this too...it's a
 shame...). If you want to take a chance with the JL, go for it. A good JL
 is a DAMN GOOD sub. If you don't want to take a chance and ssave a
 little money, get the MTX. IMHO, stay away from the JBL.
