I used two subs 15 years ago using expensive Peerless 10" subwoofers and two Parts Express 120 watt plate amps. It sounded ok, but I suspect the plate amps were not best quality.
Now a days, the newer Parts Express 10" subwoofer is better sounding than my old subwoofer system. The 10" subwoofer is faster responding than the Parts Express 12" subwoofer and sounds better as I owned both. You would have to spend a lot more money (perhaps 5x) to get a better sounding subwoofer.
Follow Ups:
10" does appear to be a magic number for woofers. Of course there are bigger woofers that sound great, but they tend to be the more expensive ones.

I've also found that a powered 10" sub is ample size. That plate amp is busting a nut to crank out a 30Hz tone. Saving your amp and speakers from that nastiness.
Every 10 Hz lower brings a whole new set of problems and a smaller groups of recordings that have any sound down there.
