[QUOTE="T3mpest, post: 8203829, member: 560148"] How much power do you have. I'd go with the SSA DCON in a box that size. They work great in small ported boxes, that will actually be a good size for them and decent tuning. SQ should be MUCH better than most subs in a box like that because it'll still have a nice falling response, sort of like a sealed enclosure, but deeper and louder. They are a bit underrated and can handle a bit more power than rated. The driver you linked looks pretty interesting as well. Without modelling it, it looks like it would be similar to the DCON, but with higher powerhandling. The inclusion of a shorting ring is nice since it's also a 3inch coil. At 250 dollars with a shorting ring and a 3inch coil, it's really not that overpriced. I'd say it's worth at least 200-250 dollars. Plenty of more expensive more known brand names will likely perform worse for that price. If your really looking more for SQ than SPL the dcon should sound very good and save you quite a bit of money over the NVX. They won't get quite as loud, but they are also half the price almost and will give you 80% of the performance. [/QUOTE]
