My suggestion is go for it! Buy the biggest sub u can afford, after all if it is too 'loud or powerful' u can always lower down the vol. Buying sub for me is buy the biggest & most powerful wan. Afterall if u buy a good sub u will not 'up-grade' it anymore unlike other HT component. And when u r alone u can blast the sub kaw kaw & see if u can crack the toilet bowl! Just my peasant suggestion.
