10 inch sub suggestions

[Ack]

Hi am looking for suggestion for new sub, recently decided to get back into car audio I have been out of car audio for about 10+ years so I have no clue what companies are good now a days . I am currently running a kicker comp vr (old sub I had from long time ago and one of the only things didn’t sell when I sold all my stuff) with a kicker 600.1. Sub is dual 2 ohm so amp only running at 300w. I think the sub is getting ready to die so I want to get something to run the amp at 2ohm so sub would be 600-800rms preferably one 10 inch sub and I have custom box in my Jeep Wrangler that I would like to reuse aprox 2 cubit feet sealed thanks

Is that 2 cubes for a single 10" sub sealed?

Yes the info I found online said could go up to 3ft2 for the sub and just wanted to add I looked at box and could probably make cut out bigger so maybe a single 12 could work as well

That is massive for a single sub, regardless of 10" or 12" cone. Good news, its easier to make the inside smaller than make it bigger.

So you are saying I should add some wood inside the box to take up some room , also I might be thinking to go with two 10s then I could keep the box that size , any suggestion on good brands that won’t break the bank , thanks

CompVR likes large enclosures for a flat response something like 3.85cf for the 10”. Power handling goes down though.

I am biased as I co-own SSA. So our SSA Demon 10's would be my first suggestion.

I'd add a round port and add some bracing to get the net volume needed for a single 10 ported.
