This is the older version and is a great sub for the $ The newer version is no slouch and worth the money . I have the 10" version DVC4 and slamms very nicey in 2.0 at approx 33 htz. ran on a Hifonics VII Hurcules for a bit and an Autotek Mean machine 99 in a Bazooka tube it did pretty well also(save space and light weight and ported in a co. truck for some bass)

Yes. This one is stitched. Great sub for the money. i would think that a pair of 10s or even 12s on 1k in 4.0 at approx 33-32htz would be a really nice set up to be honest.that 10 is impressive for what it is.

id like to utilize the 60/40 fold down for a slot port, or should i point the port to the rear like usual?

In a trunk car it's best to rear port and sub towards the rear. You'll have cancellation with a rear firing sub and a front firing port. I'm not a fan of sub and port forward in a trunk unless its been walled off.

I personally was in the same position but for 15s. Trying to find the best 15 for $100 each. I decided on the Orion XTR. Next years XTR will be reconeable as well.

Quite welcome.For a 50 yr old(in a day or two) Ive tried several subs and played around with some cheapies and some fairly high priced subs. I mean if you want to go dirt cheap on a sub and pay very little and get some kind of bass in any system Id be recommending the Lanzar Max Pro series all day long as well for as cheap as they are.. they do a nice job for a $50 sub. Excellent for any work vehicle or a daily ride.Throw 2-4 of those in and expect some decent bass for the $. I am still working on trying just about every series of A.Bass subs/ even the SVC series eventually just to see how they all perform. Thus far, I havent been disappointed with any of theyre subs to date. I think you will be happy with that series for the $ spent. Though this is just my opinion of course

Most people don't realize it but a pair of 500rms subs should have at least a 2kw amp on them if you want to reach their max potential.

I've done over 140db with a pair of 200rms Boston G1 12s with a low tuned daily box. 

The unfortunate thing is there is a LOT of bad equipment out there at this price point so it takes education and experience to sift through the snakes n sparklers in order to find the good stuff.

Very interesting. The XD stands out more compared to the others as a 10. It's a lot closer with 12s and the Cerwin Vega is more competitive as a 12 than as a 10.
