What will sound best with my equipment.....Skar/NVX/Pioneer/JBl?

[MrAcd 10+ year member]

If you are dead set on using 10s than neither. You will need to go with something like a JL W1. Something with a soft syspension.

Softer suspension , why? Will i benefit from it or something?

They have higher efficency which makes better use out of power and airspace but they are only going to do so much. You will gain bandwidth and response but give up output and low end. You can't have your cake and eat it in this hobby.

This is a hard hobby then lol. are they efficient even though the sensitivity is at 83db and 11mm xmax? im not looking on saving power on an efficient sub, im looking to use all my power. i want the best low hitting SPL subs

Well if that's what you want you are not going to get it with that box. What you want needs airspace.

well i mean for my box what would work, like the JL's will handle power well, the JL's specs just looked kinda weak thats why i cant bring myself to buy those, with the low sensitivity and smaller magnet. but i want the best SPL subs for my box and amp, but you guys have brought it to my attention that i have made a box mistake but im thinking later i might go back and order a fox box //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif but for now what will hit hard with my current equipment

What is your experiance? Have you been around high end builds? Have you only been are around kickers and best buy stuff? Do you know the difference between quality and loud?

TBH no, im new into the car audio thing this is my first build. I havent been around really high end builds i watch a lot of YT videos on build like that. I came here to kinda ask to see what people though would be best. I think the loudest i heard were like 4 15's Fi X15's.

In that case you might be happy with the DCONs for now. It will give you something to progress to.

When you say "something to progress to", what do you mean?, like when i get the foxbox or what?

Getting a better box. Not nessicarily the fox box but learning enough to get one real good. Going from .75 or less to 1.5 is a huge gain.

well the problem was my truck..... if i had a trunk i would of easily got a better box but i had to put the box under my back seats and there is close to zero space under there, though i did not have any other choice in the truck. So you think the Dcons are the way to go over the skar audios and JL and else what?

I still say to put good 8s will be better than any 10. But after you spend more time and learn more you will figure out what works best. How about this anology. Using the DCON in that box is like putting a V6 Altima motor on a Versa transmission. Using a good 8 will be like putting a V6 Altima motor on a Altima 4 banger transmission.

1. You can get a better sub in a 8

2. You will have closer to proper airspace.

The JLs will take your power and work better but you won't have much room to progress. The DCON will not work as well but if you figure out how to get more space, maybe fiberglass you will have room to progress with out buying a bigger amp and better subs.

There are a few slim subs that will slam sealed but they are not cheap.

okay so what kind of 8's would sound better, if i were to get some? would they hit harder too?

8s can get very nasty these days. The SA8 is very popular and you will be able to add power in the future if you wanted to. I still think the SD would be good. Look up what a under hung coil is. You don't see those much anymore.

There is more to output than cone area. The loudest build in the world only uses 5 18s.
