Need 2 decent budget 10s in my f250. budget is $80 or less a sub. requirements are they must be under 5.75" mounting depth and preform well in .75 cubes sealed. Amp is 900watts @ 2ohm bridged so the subs must be dual 2 ohm or single 4 ohm.

here are my picks. looking for decent SQ and good output. doesnt have to be IDQ/fiq quality. listen to everything but alot of electronica/house and rock

Phoenix Gold RSd10d $40

thanks //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif

 
hmmm actually i just read the spec pdf for the gt5 and gto and the gt5 is 5 15/16" not 5 5/16 like on jbls website. the gtos are 5 7/8". and i could make the gto's work with some spacers

 
sounds like u have done some homework on this subject

i like the phoenix gold rsd's.. pretty good little sub for that price.. and sounds like it will fit the bill in both the size limitation, mounting depth and power

if u were willign to spend more, the possibilities will open up a lot more

 
YEah ive been at it for a week now non stop reading searching reading. cant decide im trying to put together a bangin setup on the cheap. if i had the money id go IDQ10v.3s but im trying to keep it under $200 for 2 subs

how are the Re audio Sr series? 2 re sr10d2's can be had for $165 shipped on Egay

i havent had any experience with the sr's.. but i have had experience with the SE's...

from what i understand, the sr's handle sealed enclosures better than the se's.. but the se's sound ****ed good in sealed or ported.. so i can only imagine really

anything RE is good in my books.. and that looks like a good deal on those subs actually.. good find

 
man i dont think i can pass these RE's up!!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

 
Cant really find any info on the SR's sealed besides a couple people complaining about output from them in the recommended .5 sealed. where everyone then recommending they go ported which isnt an option.

 
just got a call form a buddy of mine. If i could get 2 IDQ10v.3's for $145each brand new they retail for $250ea. would those be worth going over my budget for? i hear they compare to JLw6v2's which is way in another leage from anything im currently looking at.

 
**** price points They keep going UP.. i know all the ones in the top price point will work well in my enclosure. but what about the middle area? will any of these work really well in a small .75 sealed enclosure.

$150 - $200

RE audio SR10d2 - $165
