10s low watts small space

all id subs i ever heard or hooked up with anywhere near the right box (im being lieniant here to) produces a deep bass. for the most part they all work pretty well ib is the reason why, which also makes me say what i do about them "for a simple drop in woofer they sound great" probably the most forgiving woofers on the planet for car audio as a line.

 
well its weird because supposably the IDV3s 10s have like 18mm of xmax and the RLI 8s are about the same in xmax. But I gess thats a loss in cone area but gain in watts. Then the 10s are less xmax but more cone area. I think Mike told me that the Rli 10s would beat the RLi 8s in output anyways. So Im still thinking wat to get. I know the IDV3s seem to be real conservative with the watts noting their 250 watt rating. And if the RLIs and IDV3s would have the same amount of output with different watts Id rather get the IDs because of the lower watts.

You can have an efficient driver that will work well in small enclosures, but it won't have good low-frequency extension.

maybe true but .75cu ft hasn't been considered small for a 10" sub since 1992. I cant even find a 10" sub designed for a sealed enclosure that recommends an enclosure larger than 0.75cu ft.

 
Ok, kinda off topic a little. How would the RE Series compare to the IA 187, sealed boxes. I have heard the RE doesent get to loud in sealed?

Thanks

:EDIT: I found my answer searching....shoulda done that first.

 
On the SS site it says that the RLI 10s have 20MM of xmax. I might have to go with the RLIs. I mean they are like 20 dollars more for each they might be worth it. What u guys think?
