10" Sub for small sealed box, decent power

[gurusan 10+ year member]

So I have a box that I'd like to use that is .66 CF sealed, and a Directed 600.1 amp that puts out 600rms at 1Ohm.

Which subs should I be looking at? I drive a WRX wagon so I want to make sure I don't hear mechanical noises and slapping. I want a really good bang/buck sub and so far I've been looking at the Sundown SD-2, ID10 v3, and e5.10.

I know it's a small box, but any suggestions on which to go for for my setup? I had an ED 11k.v2 a long time ago that I liked, but it seems ED get so/so reviews now. Right now I have a Jensen KS-210 that hits surprisingly hard considering I paid 20 for the sub and enclosure, but gets muddy in the long bass notes of dub step songs.

thanks

I have been checkin out some youtube videos on the sd's and they sure can handle the power. I am almost convinced to go this route.

The Morel Ultimo 10, JL Audio 10w6v2, Fi Q, and Phoenix Gold RSDc 10 are about the only ones that came close to impressing me sealed. With that said, even with cabin gain and all that other fun stuff, they would have easily been outdone by themselves and a slew of others in a ported enclosure. Unfortunately for low end extension with a sealed enclosure, one needs more cone area than most 10" subwoofers with a F3 in the 50 Hz range can offer.
