Hi folks,
Car audio newb here - need a subwoofer suggestion for a "custom" small enclosure in a Jeep XJ;
Jeep Subwoofer & Speaker Boxes - Jeep Cherokee Sub Box | SubThump
Its pretty small, much smaller than I have used before. The mounting depth is not as much of an issue, but I already have an amp (an Alpine MRV-m500) which will will do 500x1 @ 2 ohms. Probably a bit overpowered for my goals;
Number of subs preferred: 1
Size preferred (if configuration allows): 10" or 8"
Budget: $175
Power to be used (which amp(s), include which resistance): Alpine MRV-M500; 500x1 @ 2 ohms
Space available (take measurements, do not guess): .32 CU-FT
Goals: A solid budget setup, not looking to set records or anything
Listening habits: Rap, Electronica (house mostly), and lots of Rock too
Preferred brands/subs/whatever: No preferred brand really
Its a trail rig too, so I am not looking to drop tons of coin on it, MAX budget of $175 but the cheaper the better
One sub that looked like it might fit the bill was a Skar VD-10
https://www.amazon.com/Skar-Audio-VD-10-D2-Subwoofer/dp/B016IH8Z8C
But it also looks like it got sub-optimal reviews in some cases. And the recommend enclosure size is double what mine is....
So really, I am looking for something with a mounting depth of 5.25" or 6" (with a 3/4" spacer), and that will work well with a TINY .32 cu.ft enclosure. Any advice??
