You need to get out more, son. Square Solo's are shit. The hemispherical coned models (before the Square's) were infinitely better. Square's can fart out bass good, but musically they sound like ass.
krwlz, your friend is right to recommend JL, but for the wrong reasons. JL's can be loud if asked to, but the company is all about sound quality. Their products are designed to sound the best they can at a given price point. Anyone who knows anything about JL will tell you that they are not an SPL woofer.
On the sensitivity note, any other time I would say look for a less sensitive sub. More efficient subs tend to have a sloppier sound to them, whereas with a less efficient sub, it is harder to move, therefore giving a tighter and cleaner sound. But being limited to only $500, you can't go crazy with amp power, so a more sensitive sub is probably the answer. A W0 sub from JL will work just fine.
