(2) 10's with around 400rms...what to buy?

[dsblk93gt 10+ year member]

I don't have a ton of power and right now I have a 10w3V1 in a bandpass which sounds great for what it is and is pretty loud off of around 250rms or so, maybe 300. I want to go with (2) 10's sealed and have around 400rms to play with, not much. I can always get something bigger but I'm not an all out spl guy. I want decent output comparable to what I have now but nice LOW hitting bass. I thought about...

ID 10's

PG RSD 10's

JL 10w1 or 10w3

Memphis PR

JBL GTO

OZ Vector

the rsd10 was not good enough for me in a sealed enclosure.....you would be better off with a small ported enclosure than a sealed one IMO.

edit: especially for "low" bass from a 10

how much you looking to spend?

Why not buy another 10W3 and build or buy a nice sealed box. That seems easier and less expensive since you already have one. The W3's can handle more power than that but 200RMS to each would still make them sound pretty nice.

Thats a thought. I have a new in the box ID ID10 as well, I was going to use it in my Mustang but could buy another one and go that route too.

I sound like a broken record, but get another 10w3 and a jl 500/1. JL stuff is quality and it will match up your sub stage.

If you feel like driving to Long Island I could sell you my 10w6v2's, they should take 200 watts each with no problem...

Try the sub you have in a better box first.

It's very impressive for one 10" off a small amp, it's just not the most musical setup. For a bandpass this is the best one I have ever owned or heard though. It hits pretty low still and gets loud. I'd say louder than my (2) 10W1's sealed I had years ago with the same power but they were in a hatch.

I think the box was for a W6 originally but a friend had the box and I had a new 10w3v2 sitting around so why not. I have MAYBE a total of $500-600 in the whole system though since it is a daily driver. I just get bored with stuff and want more....who doesn't I guess!

i'll go ID i don't like how W3 plays low freq bass i think the ID has more xmax and keeps SQ

 

[TheCarFather 10+ year member]

Go with another ID10. I really liked the look of that woofer....would be nice seeing two in the back of the Focus sealed //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
