[DreamsteR 10+ year member]

alright I only got about 300 or so dollars to spend so Im just looking at a pair of 10's and a decent amp (got wood for speakers already) just curious if I should maybe get a package of stuff or what I should do?

I was thinking maybe later on down the road about this...

Is there a specific reason for 10" subs? Is there a size constraint for the box or just a random decision. I would suggest larger is better as they will more readily play the lower frequency range than a smaller woofer. 12" is the most popular and offers the most options. You could even go 15" or 18" if you want. You may not necessarily need two either as one larger, high excursion sub can move a lot of air, and if ported it's more of a thermal limitations than anything else.

What are your limitations/goals for this setup?

He probably thinks 10s are cheaper.. which can possibly be true.. but is the price range for sub, wiring, amp, deck etc..?

i would recommend buying one sub to save money

actually this is in the trunk of a del sol so, give or take can only have about 11 inch height..cause I like bass and all but right behind the seats is like woah.

I too would buy one 12. I think you'll be able to stick in your price range easier if you are just going with one 12 and an amp (of course wiring and install too).

Even at 11" you could probably make a wedge shaped box that will let you fit a 12" in there

I was thinking about getting this package deal and then making my own box (two Alpine Type E's with apline M-450

 

[DreamsteR 10+ year member]

or two 12's (type E's again) with the same amp for 350

One of my friends had a 12" Infinity reference driver in about a 1 cube or so sealed box in her del sol.. Maybe around 300-400 watts pushing it.

Sounded great, spl was decent and I was quite surprised by it, actually.

 

[DreamsteR 10+ year member]

hmm what kinda amp?

i had a similar setup with the infinity ref and they do sound kinda nice- had it with a small mtx amp that pushed around 300w
