10" Sub that requires low airspace

[97srad750 10+ year member]

I have 2 10" Crossfire DB3 in some boxes for a Dakota Crewcab, but they just don't drop that hard. Any suggestions on a 10" sub that works well in .6 to .7 cu/ft per sub. The mounting depth is 6". I understand there are limitation, but I was hoping for a little more out of this system. I would really like opinions from all, but from people that have heard the subs in this amount of airspace. Thanks in advance.

I"m using an old Tek 150.2 as my amp, which should be plenty of power for any sub mentioned.

Phoenix gold RSd 10s are .5cu ft. each i believe.

Check out the AA Arsenal 10's. I've been researching for a 10 as well and have read alot of good reviews..i am pretty close to getting one.

Crossfire DB3's a a pretty good sub. One of my best friends has 2 12s. Do you mean that they dont play lows? Cause all the Crossfire subs I've heard, love higher bass notes 40+.

I'm sure they will drop, just not in .6 cu ft of airspace. There good subs. I just want a little more drop.

what power does that amp make?

600 watts

Have you heard these? They seem to be the sub on paper. Anyone know where to get these online cheap. Crutchfield has them, but I would rather avoid that.

If you are ready to stop playing around and actually get output from your box that is too small.......it's time to step into a pissed off 8" and PORT the box. The ported 8" will stomp whatever 10's you plan on putting in that box. Two that I'd recommend would be the AudioQue SD2-8 or the Digital Designs 1008a. Both get stupid, the AQ sub costs less. The box will need to have the center divider knocked out and a thinner brace put in it's place. Cap the other subwoofer cutout with a sealing foam tape and screws and port the cap you made. This modification can be reversed since all you do is take the cap off and put whatever lame 10" you want in there to prove the fact to yourself and witnesses. The port should be 16 square inches x 18" long. You'll love it.

When you are really ready to stop playing. Raise the rear seat 3" with 2x3" square steel tubing and some grade 8 bolts, nuts and washers. This'll give you plenty of room for a pair of 10's to beat your ssa to sleep.

Thats what I would do or Like VereChronicus said go with 8s and port them.

crutchfield is the only place that sells them because they are like the only certified dealer for PG...i havent heard them yet but am ordering mine this week. I think you want the box to be about .8 cu ft though because of the amount of space the sub takes in the box

Memphis M1's play nice down to .4 cu.ft. and they only need 150-200 watts

Im kinda in the same situation....I have the 1997 Dodge Ram1500 with the MTX Thunderform box. I have 2 Phoenix Gold OCTANE-R 10/10d inside. It sounds really good. I have gotten many compliments on it, but after 3 years I just blew one sub so I am looking for something better. I was looking into the Crossfire DB3's...anything else that will fit???
