Thanks all...going with the KW181s ordered 1 today. Was able to get a new sub and cover a little below my budget.
Since starting back up after 10 years or so I wanted to give actives a try. As with any tool of the trade I realize actives are not a one size fit all solution so will be looking into passives this time next year. I have my eye on the EV Tour X line when the time and money comes.
