Need thoughts on Sub Purchase

[Nut Hair Trick 10+ year member]

I was thinking of changing my sub setup and I'm not sure what route to go. I have limited space and right now I am running (1) DD10. This is going under the rear seat of my F150 Supercrew. They will be powered off a Phoenix Gold Xennon x600.1 with a birthsheet of 826w. Amp is stable from 1-4

Here is what I'm thinking:

3 or 4 8's- I was looking at The Fosgate P2D28's to do this and was wondering if these things are garbage or should I choose some other 8's. Right now My wife has a P3 15 in her car and it sounds pretty decent. They are on sale on ebay right now for cheap.

(2) 10 inch type R's- with a mounting depth of 6.8, I dont know if this will really be an option. I can build the front of the box to be 8 in, but it would go 12-14 inches deep and finished off with 5 3/4 height at the rear of the box.

(2) 10 or 12 inch Memphis Audio SCLASS slim fits. I'm kind of skeptickal of the slim fit subs because if they are so great, then all subs would be "slim fit". But, they were suggested by a very knowledgeable member of this site so I think I could definitely take his word on this. The thing is, you cant hardly find them online and when I do, some stereo shop has them and it says for in store purchase only. I guess because they are relatively new. I sure hate to go into my local shop and get *** ***** with a purchase of these. So what do you think? Any suggestions?

Here is the general shape of the box that will be built to house the new subs -minus the angle at the rear of the box.

Ok, forget the Fosgate 8's. I'm now looking at the RE Audio 8's

What about the DD1508's or maybe some ID8v.3 's, I've installed both and was very impressed with both.

with my irregular box shape and limited space, I didnt think the 1508's would worksince the DD10 isnt working. I would love to have the 1508s if I could build a box suitable for them. I will check out the ID8v.3 's. Thanks

how much air space is in your box? it looks to be a little on the large size to me.

what model 10 is it?

 

[Nut Hair Trick 10+ year member]

1010. I figured it to be around 1.4cuft, but the more I talk to people, the more I think that this thing is too big. With all of the angles,notches, and such, I did my best to come up with an accurate volume. I'm thinking that I might build another and cut it off at the notch point.

That would look pretty sick. It's funny, because bones22 suggested I run 4 DD 6.5's. I never would have imagined that I could get the output from multiple 6.5's that I could an 8, 10,or 12.

I will definitely keep that in mind, thanks.

Mach 5 makes some nice suff. personally id take the DDW6.5's over the MIL-65's though

although they are priced a good bit cheaper.

Going with either, I could face them things forward on the front face of the box, vs. having subs upfiring into my seat,and and slam the shiit out of them. I wonder how much more the DDW's would run.

i didnt have any in my storage. firing up would give them something to load off of.

i havent priced them in a while but probably looking at 140 or so for a pair
