Sub choices

[chefhow 10+ year member]

OK Guys thanks for the help with the comps, now onto the subs. With so many choices I just don't know where to begin. I am running a set of DLS UR36 up front with an ARC KAR400.2. I have a choice to either run a second 400.2 or a 1000.2T to the sub. I have very limited space(1.25cuft max) and would like to stay with either 2x8" subs or a single 10". Listen to mostly rock/metal, so it/they need to be able to keep up with fast bass guitar and bass drums. Sealed box prefered. What would you guys get? I was looking into JLw7 line, eDOv2 line, ID OEM's, and RE's. Your thoughts and suggestions are appreciated.

If you listen to that kind of music you could do a 12" sealed for accuracy of the sound. If you can afford the w7 go for it, I would if I could.

Why not a DLS UR series??

If space is a concern, one of the best values on the market right now IMO is the DIYMA 12' that is a smalled sealed enclosure designed driver.... .5 cuft for a .707 allignment and is built like a brick shithouse....actually I think it looks a lot like a Focal Utopia driver but at like 20% of the cost.

The reason I haven't looked into a 12" sub is I don't have the width to do the enclosure that I want. If I go with a 12 I will lose to much space. Right now I have 11.75" of width, so I was really leaning to 2 8" subs.

//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif , how can you do 2 8" subs with the width allowed?

I have 22" height so I was going to stack them. Space avaliable is 22"H X 11.25W X 13"D. It is going in the corner of my hatch area.

Oh,ok. 2 JLw7's would sound awesome.

So then you think the 1000.2T on the 2 8W7's?
