[QUOTE="zako, post: 7374359, member: 629735"] Oh no. Dayton HF require very big boxes. The 12 inch needs 2.7cu ft for perfect q. The 10 inch version requires around 1.7cuft. Clearly, they're not car audio subs. The Dayton HO line could work much better. They had been proven to work well in 0.7cu ft sealed boxes. The only problem is that they're extremely low efficiency subwoofers. You'd have to have a healthy amplifier and/or run two of them. A much better middle ground is Peerless XXLS 12" (not XLS) sold by parts express for about $190. It's has been proven to work in 1 to 1.7cu ft sealed box with SQ comparable to I.D. IDQ and Dayton Reference subs. Efficiency is superb. It will run with a relatively modest amplifier, though its RMS wattage and xmax had been proven to be highly under rated. I'd just buy one of these and forget about finding a perfect sub for years to come. [/QUOTE]
