i think your best bet would be the HSU or SVS, that is in your price range. those subs will traditionally give you the best bang for buck.

i cant say which specifically to get, but for the money, either company will produce a sub that will run circles around the EP175. but, as you mentioned, they wont be able to match the color options you get with axioms.. my opinion, just stick it in a corner, who cares what it looks like.
