$160ish / single sub sealed box 600wrms...GO

[elementxero 10+ year member]

Title pretty much sums it up.

Reccomendations for what to do for a sub in a single sealed application with 600wrms on it.

10" a plus if it can get loud enough by itself in a sealed box, I'd love to preserve the 40 of the 60/40 split on my back seats

ps- SQL, I don't want it to sound like ***...must accurately reproduce kick drums.

I have a custom TC9 10" flat cone single 4 ohm for 130shipped

I'd be interested but the amp I am getting does 600wrms @ 2Ohms, and if that's a svc 4 Ohm I'd need an amp that puts out 600 at 4Ohm or two of those subs and more power....right?

Thats a sexy sub and the price is right. .7" sealed reccomended too so I could get the small footprint I'm looking for....might just grab one of those.

Now for the question that will get me flamed: anyone know of a good site that builds quality sealed boxes for one? I know its not rocket science to do myself, but I just don't have the tools or time, plus I don't trust myself to do a good job nomatter how much effort I may throw at it.

x3 on the Arsenal 10.....great choice. I'm pretty sure the 10" version is the only one still available. The last time I heard the 12" and 15" versions are sold-out for good....soon to be replaced with AA's new lines.

I'm giving my Arsenal 12 600 watts and I absolutely love it....an outstanding SQL driver. It hits hard but it's clean and tight...no sloppy,bloated overhang. I don't think you're gonna be disappointed.

yeah, and they have a dvc 4 ohm version, where you can get it to 2 ohms, and you wouldn't need another sub. Plus they sound great, and get loud

I hear dimension is high quality and the way to go if you are going to go prefab (yeah yeah better off building yourself I get it, but that's not an option for me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif)

Don't see a cubic footage there though? Is it too big?

 

[elementxero 10+ year member]

bump for an opinion on the box....prefabs are a crapshoot

I come up with ~.9 cu ft after sub displacement... should be just fine with the Arsenal (and the power you have available).

Any chance I could get the calculations/formulas you used to figure that out? Math isn't my forte, but neither is being dependant upon other people to figure out simple measurements over the internet //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Be much appreciated.

volume = width x length x height, hence the measurement coming in cubic feet - cubic = 3 measurements multiplied together. of course that is just an apprximation unless you can measure internally but this is over the internet so best you can do is take their dimensions subtract 1.5 inches from each measurement (because of 3/4 mdf on either side), divide each of those resulting numbers by 12 (to convert to feet), and multiply your 3 numbers together (equals approximately 1.11 cubic feet)
