Good sub in small enclosure

[thaar411 10+ year member]

I am looking for a 10" or 12" to go in a sealed box with ~.7ft^3 of air space. Which sub would you recommend for these specs. Price and power is not a concern right now. Thanks.

How much depth do you have to work with?

Adire Audio Brahma's work well in small sealed boxes. But, they are fairly deep.

I will have about 10" of depth.

Shivas, they are made for small boxes, look at the shiva white paper, on Adireaudio.com

Says for a Qtc of .707 it needs 54l, which is 1.9cuft. Not exactly what I would call small, especially for only being a 12" sub. Dropping it into a .7cuft box would sky-rocket the Qtc

Previous model 10 inch Diamond M6's are less than 6 inches mounting depth and a Qtc of .707 in .49 cubic ft. The 12 inch would work well in .7 cubic ft.

ok, yeah true with that, but when I used mine in a very small enclosure..about 1^3, they sounded very good, but I also had A LOT of power going to them....

How about the JBL w10GTi? Its Qts is .52 and its Vas is 1.25 ft^3. I have read good things about this sub but have never had a chance to hear it before.

I've never heard one (only seen one)...there are mixed reviews of its SQ on the net, but most all users agree that it's loud as hell.
