Define 'ultra compact'...Small diameter? Shallow-mount? Both? How much airspace do you have to work with? How much power will you be using? Will you be applying any tuning via DSP? Do you already have an amp, and if so what is it? What kind of vehicle and where within the vehicle are you trying to fit the sub.

The 'Best' subwoofer will always be the one best suited for the application...we need to know more about the application. There are many good products out there.

ultra compact i mean whole sub speaker + box + amp assembled solution like eton res flat for example
or audison 10 apbx.

I Needs to contain speaker+ amp + box, whole solution active one.

I’ve modeled a lot of small subs for my Jeep. 6.5 inch, 8 inch and 10 inch. Some are small box performers, some don’t seem to be. Sundown 6,5 inch subs do well in .25 cubes ported. Other 6,5s need double that or more. Style of enclosure and where it is going is important.

Active options are meager at best. I’m building my own active sub system using bare amp boards and raw power supply modules specifically because there are no options.

Those "active" subwoofer setups are ******* horrible. Had a co worker that had to have me install one for him.. My mids had better bass.

How about ? audison APBX 10 AS2 ACTIVE SUB BOX is it any good

I haven’t found any active subs that i would use. I haven’t tried the Audison, but from the specs, I would say it is pretty weak.
