1 big 10 or 2 10's for lows? And which ones?

[Aygodriver1212]

Hey guys,

I've been interested in some new sub(s). Looked at a z v.5, I can fit one in a box in my car, I will be running these subs at around 2-2.5kw.

Which sub(s) can you advise me, and why? I'm dounting between 1 or 2 10's since I can not fit a 12.

Again, I like low bass, doesn't have to be ultra SQ but have to sound good and do well in small enclosures.

Thanks!

The sub in my sig is in 1 cuft, a 15 inch cube, and gets very low in a sealed box. There is also an 11 inch model of the sub. Stereo Integrity is the web site, check it out, get 2 of the elevens dude.

Don't 2 10's hit much harder?

Well, two ten inchers would fit in a space for a 12 inch unless height is your issue.... But two decent tens would get down on 2k. Crescendo, DC, Incriminator, Sundown, b2, ... Any ten from these companies and youll be happy. They have good motors, get loud and low in the right setup, and can usually take more than rated power..

That is why I suggested two of the stereo integrity hst11s dude, they only .5cuft apiece dude, and 2000wrms. Or the 12 inch version.

When did I imply I was building a sealed?

You didn't, I was making a general statement.

That’s a pretty wrong statement. Sealed will play sub sonic. Ported won’t unless tuned to the dirt. Then it loses all top end.

Then somebody needs to come and explain that to my sub, because it must be confused, it digs dude.

Show me a sealed box that will hair trick.

Sealed boxes might play some low notes but they won't hammer them like a proper low tuned bass reflex or bandpass.

You do relize ported only offers a few DB bump around tuning? JPs old 10 18 wall that was sealed did hair tricks.

Of course big cone area in a wall comfiguration will move tons of air for a hairtrick to happen. This discussion is about 1 or 2 10s.

Ok. Find a pair of 10s doing it that can play anything other then 25hz.
