What's a good 10" sub to push 250 watts with?

not looking to win any competition. Helping a friend put together something better than stock.

The fronts, we've opted to go for a CDT CL-61A for the fronts. he already have a MB Quart DTE-169 for the rear. A friend gave him a fosgate 501x.

For what he's looking for, he only want to work with what he has. So I need to find a sub that would handle 250w @4 ohms nicely since we're using the 501x to power the fronts and bridging the rear to power the sub.

I did a quick search I'm actually trying to find the dcon online review looks really good. How does it sound in a sealed box

They are great subs sealed or ported...

what it be considered more of an SQ sub or an SPL sub? I think he's looking for clean bass. accurate and tight. Seems like they're going for around $115 + shipping from SSA store. Any cheaper sources?

Dayton Reference HF. It's very cheap and the 12 inch version performed admirably on a Klipper test machine. These are well known in home audio circles as relatively high fidelity subwoofers with low price, but should work in car just fine as well. I did some modeling with them in WinISD, and it seems like, given their xmax of 12.5 mm, there is not much point to give them more than 250-300watts.

you may want to give it a sealed box between 0.7 and 1 cu ft.

fi ssd10 ported at 32hz

or ssd12 sealed in 1cuft

ssd10 in 14x14x14 box with C-port 12.5(h)x1(w) first run 12.25, second 11.5, third 7.5

would be my choice

S1w10 rated for 350wrms

Cadence Acoustics S1-Series S1W10-D2, 10

Pro 10in rated for 400wrms

Cadence Acoustics Pro Series PRO10x4, 10" 800 Watt 4 Ohm SVC Pro Audio Subwoofer

both work well in low powered applications. Pro will handle mid-bass freq very well.
