I need a new 10 inch sub for a small box, what should work?

Post by gentlejax2 »

I want to try something new..Needs to be able to go in a 1 cft box and run off a 700 watt US Amps tri-path digital amp...

I havnt used the amp yet so I dont know how well it works , I just know its overbuilt...

what would be good at a cost of around $100 or so? I dont need too much boom but I want it to be decent bass for rock mostly, no rapp stuff

Exile 10" or 12" Xtec slim mount subs, are a little more than $100 but it (10") got a lot of good reviews. Also the XP 12" only requires 1.1 cu.ft. volume enclosure.

RSD 10's are perfect in even 0.6 cubic feet, if you can afford the depth.

peerless XLS 10" is better then all from design point of view and for a sealed enclosure of a Q w/ .707 only needs .18 cu ft :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: and w/ the PR only needs .7 cu ft :shock: :shock: :shock: I have yet to hear so cant say....but RSd is a amazing sub woofer

RRsd 10 for a q of .707 needs 1.1 cu ft

lol I dont think it will to be honest, but you could get it to work w/ bracing placed properly.....I personally woudln't use it w/o PR tho rolls of at like 80hz, but with cabin gain you do almost get a near flat response. The XLS 12" I have only needs .42 cu ft for a Q of .707 :shock: .
