Best sub for music,


Not HT, repeat not the boomboomboom of HT  effects.  which does not offer the high fidelity of musical sub bass (20hz-40hz) 
I'd have to go with the seas W26E001. which has a magnesium/aluminum cone. 
What that raitio is, not sure, seems 50/50. 
None of us here like the sound of those old aluminum cones. But my guess is Seas had to incorporate some alumium inorder to gain the 20-30hz and also mabe keep costs down. 
This YT vid says **Aluminum cone** which is confusing YTers.
Its a  composite, and perhaps the best ture woofer on the market.
Been around for ages, still hard to beat for pure natural low mids. .
Magesium is the best material to keep unwanted resonances out in the  60-1k range, very low/hardly measurable distortion. 
The issue here  tops out at 1k, so its really a  sub. 
This woofer may be a  good candidate to pair with a  5 inch wide band.

   A sub's material of construction? While important in the basic sense of what manufacturer wants to use in their products, does not address your question.."Best Sub For Music".
   Don't obsess about materials of construction. Think about how you want music to sound. Sub integration can be a most challenging task and experimentation is most often needed to achieve the results YOU want. Millercarbon made a brief but important statement.
   I have gone thru some length of time to integrate my subs to deliver the sound I prefer. If you're serious about how to really get sub performance to compliment your music I would refer you to this article. It's one of the best I've read on the subject. It's quite lengthy but if you are patient and want to know how subs work read.
