Please help with sub selection

[KevinWS6 10+ year member]

I am needing a 10" sub to go into a .6 cu. ft. sealed box. The box is a JL stealthbox in a 2002 ***** am. I have an SX 10 right now but I am selling it because I back my hatch space now to put the t-tops in. I was looking at JL 10W6v2 but I really don't want to spend that much money on a sub. I would like to stay below $200 if possible. I will also be getting a new amp so power is not a problem. I am not used to dealing with small sealed boxes so I need some help with this one. Here is a list of some of the subs I was looking at:

JL Audio 10W6V2

ED 11oV2

SS Rli 10

Adire Koda or Tempest

AA Assassin or Arsenal

If you have experience with any of these let me know what you think, also if you have any others to add to the list please suggest them. Thanks for the help.

The AA Assassins claim they don't need any space at all sealed. The 10 recommends a max of 0.62 cubes. They are pretty cheap, too. It won't hold a candle to an SX is output, but it's a great woofer for a low power setup.

Now that I've said all that, get the SS. =)

I would choose the RL-i, I have not heard the new AA subs yet so I cannot help on them, but the RL-i is a great driver but will not match the SX in output, SoundSplinter forum >> http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum

 

I would also look into the ID IDQ

Yeah I am not not expecting anywhere near the output of the SX that thing is stupid loud for one 10. Mainly just wanting a little something that will sound good.
