A few days ago, there was a used Bag End Infrasub 18" subwoofer for $900. It could have been an auction but it was here on AG.
I've had one in my home for about 2 weeks some time ago. Very musical. I had no idea at that time that an 18inch sub could be so well defined and tight in the bass down to an unbelievable 8Hz they say. I do not doubt it.
Stereophile had very good things to say about this subwoofer also.
I stepped down a notch from the sound of the Bag End because I wanted a few more bells and whistles and ended up with a Triad Platinum 18inch subwoofer. The Triad is much like the Bag End, just not quite as tight and will not go down to 8Hz(not many will). You could find a Triad for about $1k used also.
The Bag End is not the best fit'n finish, nor the most easily configurable, nor the most options, but for $1k used, I do not believe there's a sub out there than can hold a candle to the Bag End's performance from a musical perspective.
-IMO
