Need help on subwoofer choice.

[nadroj81 10+ year member]

So far I have 2 Amps a McIntosh 404m (Cabin Components) and a McIntosh 301M 600watt @ 2ohms for the subwoofer. I am thinking about 1 10 or 12'' What would be the optimal subwoofer for SQL (with some SPL involved) that will fit in a 1-1.5 cube enclosure. I am going to fiberglass a cubby in the back of my audi to keep the sub out of the way. And the amps will be built into the floor.

Opinions please!

For interior Components I am probably going to get Rainbow geraniums. Not sure if i will do the rear doors or go 2 channel config to the front speakers.

what is your budget?

A RE SE would sound great with that power.

Look into the SI BM 12, SS RL-p 12 DVC4, or FI SSD 12.

I don't know what those abbreviations are. Can you tell me the companies?

I looked up thier specs they are dual 2ohm. That won't really work with my amp.

1 10w7 (i happen to have one fs in great condition) or a 13w6v2

also an option is the Rainbow Vanadium (i had trouble finding a link)

the SI BM 12 referred to was

any of those would work well.

I got 2 new Dual4 SE10s sittin right here in front of me. I dont know were you are getting your info from, but here is a pic of the manual thet came with them, and the Dc Resistance per coil. I think they would work great in you application.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

SE is a great woofer, but IMO w7 or w6v2 > SE

(i've owned all 3)

note: this is only true when price isn't a factor

Didnt mean to sound like I was knockin the JLs, they are nice woofers, but cant really be had new from an authorized dealer for the same price as a SE(around $200).//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
