Nubster Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Looking for a single 10" woofer. I need it to work in as small of a space as possible since the cargo area of my Crosstrek is limited as it is. I can't afford to give up much real estate. The amp I'm looking at pushes 500w RMS @ 2 ohms (Rockford Fosgate R500X1D) and I'd like to stay at or below $150. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john253a Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Everyone and anyone can recommend anything But without some specs on the area you want to go We are all pissing in the wind Are you building a small sealed box? If so what do you need to work in Is it replacing a stock sub or getting built into the wall? Have you looked at IB or free air? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr8handogoatness Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 That's why I recommend the sundown. Small sealed box is what it was designed for, but you can still run in a bigger ported box. Shallow mounting depth but a good sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Building the box...sealed is good to reduce the size but I'd be open to ported if one can be built reasonably small. No sub currently. No wall. The car is a hatch so it'll go in the back. Free air no go...don't have a trunk lid. Not sure what IB is. I was thinking about the possibility of doing an MDF/fiberglass box...something with the back custom fitted around the back wheel well and tucked into the corner between the back of the rear seat and the front of the back tire well. That or some sort of wedge shape MDF box that will fit up tight against the back of the rear seat. Amp will be mounted under the driver seat.

john253a Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Post some measurement that you would like to work within My sa8 2off box is in a trunk car and only takes up, 8.5" of depth but it go right accross my back seat and is tight under the rear shelf with 11.5" of height Post some measurement and see what fits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gckless Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Dayton HO "Clipping" is the biggest forum boner now. It's like witchcraft... it automatically explains just about everything people don't understand.

gr8handogoatness Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 IB is infinite baffle. Its like where the front is sealed off from the back but doesn't have a box. Like the 6.5s in the door, when the door is sealed, is i guess technically considered an IB. There is no specific sized box or tuning or anything, just something to keep the back and front waves isolated from each other. I like the Daytons as well.

H - 15" W - 14" Top depth - 4" Bottom depth - 12" The box needs to be wedge shaped to make the most use of the room available. It would be slanted towards the back of the rear seat and the "front" of the box would be flat and the sub firing into the rear hatch. Or possibly the front could be slanted slightly as well firing the sub upwards towards the rear glass...whatever works best. Looks like that would give me around .59 cubic feet building the box from 3/4" MDF or .68cf with 1/2" MDF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
