Need a cheap temp. 10" Sub

[ItalynStylion 10+ year member]

I have an crappy old pre-fab box in the garage that has a 10" cutout. I have two channels feeding 75RMS each at 4 ohms from my amp. Im lookin for something around $50 just to tide me over for a few months till I get the setup I really want and come up with a box that I like...

What are my options?

Its gotta be a 10" b/c thats what size my cutout is... Only reason i would do this is because I would only have to expense the cost of the sub if i can use that old box for aa while

Top on is 8 ohm, bottom one is DVC 8 ohm. Either way you bridge the amp. Good luck.

^^that bottom one could be a winnar...I would have to bridge the amp and wire it to cut the impedance to 4 ohms to get what i want power wise. That might be a good option...anything else I should look at?

Oh crap, i didnt realize 120 was MAX and 80 was RMS....I guess ill just run 75RMS to each voice coil and hope it doesnt light my trunk on fire //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

Dayton makes good stuff, if you use that the extra power isn't going to hurt anything.

Plus it's 8 ohm. All things considered that drops it from 75wrms to maybe 50wrms. Still higher than the subs rated power, but the Dayton will take it. Easier on the amp, too. =)

Also read up on the Ascendant Audio Assassin 10" at http://www.ascendantaudio.com . I've never heard them but they are well thought of. Might be pricey against $50 though.

Dude those AA Assassins are to good to be true for the price....G/F has two of them in a 2ft^3 sealed box in her Kia Sportage and ****.....they sound gooood and get decently loud too of 210w RMS a piece.....$70 10" sub that will perform like a $120-$150 sub FTMFW and that's that becuase it is what it is.

That thing looks pretty soild, especially for the prince. Could I assume that its 250watt power handleing is 250RMS?

Quick question about bridging/wiring. If I have two channels and I bridge them, using ones positive and the others' negative, can I then wire the speaker with dual VC in parallel to drop the impedance down to 2 ohms to get 300RMS? Reason I ask is that my amp is 75RMS at 4ohms and I need 300 to run anything decent...

umm if your amp runs dual 4 ohms 75w per channel why would you buy a dual 8 ohm sub and only get like 30watts per channel?

aparently you didnt read the above post then...
