A solid coaxial design can get you very good bass for reasonable cost.

Thanks. Do you think noise rejection is the main criteria for a sub i/c then?
It's a big one, the longer lengths make them more prone to RFI (which doesn't just go into the sub, it will go back into the driver stage, possibly further)Also, coaxes tend to be very durable, with moderate capacitance, and at affordable costs.
I also find that a good size center conductor helps, when possible, 18 awg or even 16- And please no flames from the LCR crowd, I'm not ascribing it to resistance.
Ultimately, I find them (quality coaxials) to lack refinement for full range use, but have very good bass, that combined with the other characteristics I've described lead to.... a good choice :)
I also find a coaxial IC to do very well for subwoofer applications. In the case of the VH Audio Pulsar cable, it's a fine wire type (28 gauge solid core copper center conductor). Great pitch definition and bottom end tautness, IME.
