Ordered a pair of the 10's and 12's. I couldn't decide which way to go so I'm hoping I can just drop the 10's in my present box and see how they sound. If it's not enough thump I'll cut the holes for the 12's I guess.
My box is big enough for them if they mount on the upper surface. Does anyone have the dimensions of the cutout for the 12"?
Will I have to add some solid fill material to lessen the area the 10's see? I have ~1.5 cu. ft. per at present...
Anyway, excited about the chance to hear the difference between these and the old SS's I've had forever. I couldn't pass up the sale price. If nothing else I'll put a pair in the daughters car! She'd be happy I'm sure!
Waiting on my RSDC's from Amazon...

Yeah the 10's like really small boxes... like .5cuft per sub. You may have to fill a lot of space to get them playing their best, though in all likelihood, they will probably sound ok as well.
Considering you have the space though, I would recommend the 12's myself. All you have to do is cut the hole a little bigger, and poof! You've got a nearly ideal configuration for them. Even with the 12's I might recommend taking up a bit of space as well, since they seem to do best in 1-1.25cuft (though at 1.5 I'll bet you can't tell the difference... generally within 20% it is very difficult to hear a change).

If anyone is looking to build a rock-solid dual 12" sealed enclosure, here are some dimensions for a double-baffle. Each chamber would be 1.17 cu ft after displacement from an RSDc, ideal for SQ setup. I was going to have Fisher Customs build this up for me, but BJ is on indefinite hiatus, which sucks. If I had the tools, I would totally do this up in a heartbeat.

Thanks for the info and drawing. I stopped shipment on the 10's. I only ordered the pair after I had bought the "last" single rsdc12. I wasn't sure I wanted to rebuild a box so I wanted a pair... hence the 10's. The next day I click on the 12" again as it still didn't say unavailable and it went into my damn basket 
So it'll be the 12'ers love em or hate em.
