Good sealed sub?

[sdwrx 10+ year member]

I'm looking for a 10" sub that would match up well in a sealed box with a Profile AP600 or 1000. The box has .9 cu ft and can fit a sub with a depth of ~7". I listen to all types of music, classic rock, punk, metal, reggae, etc, but I do like to bump every now and then.

You guys forgot about Eclipse, they have some serious performance in sealed boxes.

It looks like he Rl-i is rated @ 350 RMS... which amp should I go with?

MTX 5500 line and higher are decent if you like hard punching bass. they do not hold the lower notes too well however.

that sub can easily take more wattage than that. I believe that Mike is throwing 1000 at his 2 RL-i subs.

budget?

My budget isn't too high... I'm looking to spend between $100-135 for the sub and the same for the amp. I was impressed with the Profile AP 600 (300rms) and 1000 (480rms) specs for the price. I know they are entry-level amps, but I don't think I really need too much more.

Some of the subs (10") I have been looking at are:

- Alpine Type R - 500rms - (SWR-1042D) - heard mixed reviews being sealed

- Infinity Reference - 300rms - (1040w) - havn't heard any reviews

- Polk /Momo - 300rms - (MM2104) - heard great reviews on another site

I think the 1000 would suit you well, especially for only around $120.

I also like the looks of the Power Acoustik TS980-2 which puts out 560rms for ~$115

would it be a good choice if I could find an older Type R (300w RMS)?
