Default Is there much difference??

Hey guys, I've decided that I want more bass, but don't really have the money to spring for a NICE setup, and I don't wanna waste my time with new midbass speakers in the sails. I think that I have decided to put two 8" subs in the sail panels I read the thread where the guy put the Rockford P28S4 subs in the sails and he said its a huge improvement and sounds very nice. I was looking on crutchfield and from what I can gather the Rockford P18S4 is basically the same except that it can handle 50 watts less. So heres my question.....Is there a huge difference between the P28S4 and P18S4??

I will be feeding the P18S4's about 130-140 watts and they can be had much cheaper. ($80 for the pair as opposed to $180). What do you guys think? I appreciate any feeback.

Id go for the cheaper ones and put the $100 towards something else. I dont even think youll notice a difference. The cheaper ones also match up nicely with the amount of watts your sending to them. Id take the lesser ones unless you plan on in the future sending more power to them.

Thanks for the opinion, thats what I was thinking. I actually don't have the amp yet for it, but getting one is no big deal.
