Subwoofer recommendations

[bozzchem 10+ year member]

I know, you've heard this question 1000 times.

I personally love/prefer the JBL W10GTi subs but they are too big for my new application.

I'm looking for a set of 10" subs that work well in a small, sealed box. I listen to metal/rock so need quick, tight, accurate bass over boomy bass.

The subs will get 750W RMS minimum depending upon a 4 vs 2 ohm configuration.

I'm currently eyeballing the JL Audio CS210G-TW3 box. Two 10" TW3 woofers in a pre-fabbed box out the door for $700. It has a very small footprint (12-1/8"W x 14"H x 17-3/8"D) but I haven't been able to find reviews of how it sounds.

I don't mind building a box for the right subs. What I care about is that the box maximizes bass in the smallest space possible. I want to keep as much trunk space as possible.

I've considered getting a set of Sundown ES-10V3 and building a box for them but again have no reference on what to expect from them via SQ.

Consider my max budget for subs/box @ $800.

I look forward to your suggestions and reasons for your suggestions.

jl W3 6.5 in a t line would be better than 10s in sealed. @CSCStang will get you way better results than these sealed boxes can ever hope to achieve.

better as in plays rock better, louder and fuller sounding due to the enclosure design. Sealed is pretty junk results all around imo.

if you really want to slam in a small space. a psi sub with passive radiator get the best of both worlds small box with ported output and sound.
