Need 12 Inch SQ Sub To Replace BA G3

[Mixman Premium Member]

I just got a 10" Boston G3 in a .5 cu sealed enclosure. While it is good it doesn't seem have the SQ of an IDMAX I just sold, nor that of a Boston G5 I had years ago. I am using a JL 500/1.

I also think I want to go to a 12 inch sub. So...I am looking for an SQ sub, sealed box only, to replace the Boston G3. I am looking at:

Dayton HO

IDQ V3

SSA DCON/GCON

Which of these would have the tightest, sound that blends well with the front stage? I want to keep the box at about 1 cu ft. Any other subs I should look at? Budget about $250 or less.

Dcon's belong in ported imo. I'd go Dayton if sealed is your only choice. Does it gotta be sealed? I mean is there a space issue?

True true. You'd benefit greatly going ported OP. if possible.

Its not exactly what you want but I have an Ed e10 o.44. I have it in 1 cube sealed and it get low loud enough while sounding fantastic! PM me if interested.

Well spl isn't much of a concern, so I don't need ported. I prefer sealed anyway. This is a pure sq install.

I know this is not on your list, but I have a 12" D1 AA Havoc FS for $250 and fits the bill if you are interested. It would work well with that amp at 2ohms. You would have to spring for an extra .5cf though. I wouldn't put it in anything under 1.5cf if possible.
