Best 10" sub for low power sealed enclosure

[grampi 10+ year member]

I'm looking at going with a pair of 10s in a sealed enclosure (I prefer the sound of sealed as opposed to ported). My amp only provides 300 watts for the pair, so I need subs that provide a good compromise between SQ and SPL running off of relatively low power. So far the only sub that has been recommended is the JL 10W1. Are there any others that are just as good or better for this type of application? Thanks.

Rockford P1's perform very well with barely any power to them. I've heard them in different applications and was surprised at how well they did

Are they better than the 10W1?

I like the RE 10's the base models work really well in small sealed enclousures...a better quality speaker and one that will suprise you are the DD 510's...they are quite impressive in small sealed as well

Does RE and DD have a web site? Thanks.

Sorry, I forgot to mention the driver has to be either available in a 2 or 8 ohm if it's a SVC, or it has to have DVCs. My amp needs to be connected to a 4 ohm load.

Ah, thanks, but no thanks. I'll pass on the Jensens.

I've got 4 P1's sealed and I like them. They are also available in single 8 ohm so you can wire them a 4ohms. Thats what I have only wired at 2ohms. Very good sound quality and get pretty loud in a small space, too.

IDQ's. The old ones for that little power.

What's the model number of that one, and do they have a web site?
