Sub for Arc amp

[technobass 10+ year member]

I have an Arc KS300.2 700 rms at 4 ohms, I love the sound of 12w6 but my amp can't run at 2 ohms.

Any sub out there sound like w6? And cheaper?

2 ported 8's will sound better than a sealed 12. Esp for rap/r&b music...

The amp only 700rms, most sub are 500rms and up.

The space requirements on the dayton ho is so low that you can probably get away with going ported and still stay within your goal. The sound on these are very comparable to the w6’s, if not better. Very easy to stay linear with a small box, has shorting rings, ultra low distortion. The price is hard to beat, and has a 5 year warranty I believe.

I agree about the Dayton HO being a great sub. You surely could do 2 ported 10's. On 700 watts they would be great.

After doing some research decide to go with Audiofrog GS12 ported
