good sounding subwoofer

 

[rdneck97]

I am not looking to win any contests just want some bass for my wrangler. The sub will be mounted in a custom box built into the underside of the rear seat. It seems my amp is too small. So how about some low budget, good sounding amp 10 " speaker combos.

FWIW, your amp is fine for the Blaupunkt diver that I recommended.

Perfect for small sealed enclosures, $90. Mine sounds great.

Or the Dayton quatro.

the new jl w0v2 would be a nice choice and the 10" is around $99 new.

they are rated for 300rms.

Or the Dayton quatro.

The Quatro is an excellent driver, but the OP's enclosure is a little big for the 10".

A little big? Is that a typo?

A little big is perfect since he's underpowered. A slightly oversized cabinet reduces power handling and increases efficeincy. Giving him more "bang" for his 100 watts.

Also it's very easy to reduce the size of cab by putting a brick or other object inside. Usually the interiour volume of cabs come out much smaller than you thing they will, minus the volume of the driver cone and magnet.

If it's "too big" then step up to a 12" quatro and gain even more bang for the 100 watts.

I've got a pair of 12" quatro's in my living room with 500 watts, it makes watching Battlestar Galacitica very entertaining.

I was trying to be nice. The OP's box is more than 50% larger than the recommended enclosure volume for a 10" Quatro. That can hardly be called "slightly oversized." Having used a 10" Quatro, the hyperbole above only qualifies as wishful thinking. In a larger enclosure, the Dayton will reach deeper at the expense of the rest of the spectrum. Ask me how I know.

Huh? What "spectrum"? The "spectrum" is from ~20 hz - 65 hz. Are you saying it will "suffer" at 65 hz?

I couldnt find any recommended enclosure volume for the 10" quatro. What is it? I assume it's betwen .5 - 9 cu ft. His volume should be fine, and it's easy to adjust.

Ask me how I know

Okay, how? Better yet, why does it matter?

What part of my post is "Hyperbole"?

Clearly, this discussion is pointless.

 

[DidUHearThat? 10+ year member]

Agreed. I have a pair of of quatro's sitting in front of me right now, and have found they work very well in a variety of cabinet sizes. Your claim that a difference of less than .25 cu ft would make this driver unusable is absurd. Spectrum? Clearly you have no idea wtf your talking about.

That must explain why you have no idea what size enclosure is recommended for the 10" in an automotive application.

Your claim that a difference of less than .25 cu ft would make this driver unusable is absurd.

I see that math isn't your strongsuit. If the OP's enclosure is .87ft^3 and it's more than 50% larger than the recommended volume, how is that "less than .25 cu ft," Einstein? You don't even know what the necessary volume is, remember?

Spectrum?

A mind is a terrible thing to waste. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Clearly you have no idea wtf your talking about.

You're right. I'm the one who's used the 10" Quatro, I'm the one who's tested in a variety of enclosures, and please forgive me for pointing this out once again, I'm the one who knows the driver's recommended enclosure volume. Where do you fit in?

Apparently, you're more interested in trying to score a point and protecting what's left of your ego, instead of helping the OP find the right diver for his project. You're recommending a woofer you've never tested, a woofer whose recommended operational parameters you're unaware of, yet you're arguing vehemently. Without a doubt, the OP would be a fool not to follow your advice and blow his $100 on a woofer recommended by someone who's never used it. I wish you well.

I like these for the price.

Because mine are 12's.

Too bad you don't know that the driver itself takes up some volume which will put it well within the "50%" you gave. This has to be within .25 cu ft within ideal. BFD. You claim to know what the volume is, but don't choose to share. It doesn't matter, the OP said sealed, and his volume would be fine. Sealed enclousre are very forging to volume. A claim that it's won't work is absurd. This isn't rocket science. You really should learn more about this subject before you post your nonsense.

I agree, your use of the term spectrum is a joke. You can't explain why you brought it up, or wtf it has to do with anything here. Nothing, you don't even seem to know what it means.

You're right. I'm the one who's used the 10" Quatro, I'm the one who's tested in a variety of enclosures, and please forgive me for pointing this out once again, I'm the one who knows the driver's recommended enclosure volume. Where do you fit in?

Since you clearly enjoy being a blow hard, but you failed to notice I recommended a different driver, and was agreeing with another poster that the quatro would also be a good choice. Which it is.

Your an idiot to claim the quatro won't work in this size cab, of course it will, and your an a hole for the way you choose discuss it. Really, STFU and wait till you learn wtf your talking about. Read more, post less.
