So the kid that mows our lawn just got his first car and is in the process of getting emancipated (or whatever that's called. He 17 and getting out from under his parents). I gave him a taramps ds800x2 and a set of 10 inch sealed boxes I had gotten in a trade that'll tuck inches back of early 2000's escape without taking up much space. I explained his options on how to wire things up and he decided he wanted to keep things simple until he learned more. So now I'm trying to figure out a set of 10's that'll sound decent in 1 cuft sealed on about 200-250w at 4ohm. Any suggestions in a budget price range?
 
Tell him to Google Horse's mouth with a gift in it!

Ah, wasn't sure. I've used the budget middle-line NVX's, I listed above, they are pretty darn good. There's a N series version that is as good as any in its price range at only $55.

  • Ported Enclosure:
    • Recommended Volume: 1.25 ft3
    • Tuning Frequency: 34 Hz
    • Ideal Power RMS: 300W
    • F3 (Hz): 31
  • Sealed Enclosure:
    • Recommended Volume: .75 ft3
    • Ideal Power RMS: 350W
    • F3 (Hz): 43
    • FC (Hz): 49
    • QTC: 0.862
We did three of these in a triple box, it plays down to around 39hz in the car.

He listens to both country and western...so I wouldn't think he'll need to dig deep 🤔

Well then... the 10's are at around 40 in a 1-cube box. The optimum is .75, , close enough. Stick a 13x7x5 shoebox full of sand inside the box for weight and damping, duck tape it all up, hot glue it to the inside, stuff the remaining cavity with some poly-fill , and you got a perfectly sealed 350-watt RMS sub with an f3 of 42hz for $55

DROP - THE - MIC!
