So Many Choices

[Slobalt]

So I'm looking for a pair of ten's (10'') for my car, 2010 cobalt and I have a zx2500.1 to power them. I want to keep it under $500 for the pair. They will be put in a box around 3 cubes. So what do you think I should run?

there's too many options to list. Are you looking for maximum spl, sq, bit of both ...etc.?

Best 10s to use in a pair with less than a $250 price tag per. To handle upwards of 1k watts each. 3 cubes to work with.

I think there's enough info here to say a dozen woofers or so... Someone will come in here and say Tantric! Or Sundown! Or Soundqubed! So I will just say those first, but for a real recommendation look into a pair of SSA Gcons or Fi X10s they will be under budget for you and overperform in that airspace with a big old port to boot. I think $460 for a pair of Gcons and like $430 for the Xs. The Xs are a bit better too but overall pretty similar drivers in that sort of setup

A little bit of both, I had a pair of L7 15's and I loved how loud they got but I hated how sloppy they were down low. So I'm looking for something that wont have that issue.

American Bass XFL's...The 10s can be had for $100-140ea depending on where you look. Severely under budget. Will save you enough for electrical upgrades

I have looked at all of these subs, I'm just trying to get peoples thoughts on what they think I should run? I was really thinking about going with Fi x's but I'm not sure a pair will take 2500 watts? Also I've been throwing up the idea of trying to fit 12's in my trunk, would that change your recommendations?

What about the C2 audio's treatcon 2, do you think that would be a better/good choice?

For not much more, I'd go with the beefier xfl.
