MAJOR UPDATE!
story first, details in a min i was browsing ebay, hoping to stumble across a bargain, and boy did i find one! i found a certain sub, in fantastic condition, in a gorgeously made box (a bit tatty, but the box is superb!) 45s, angled port, correct dimensions, correct tuning (32 Hz) and bloody good materials used......... and the sub?
BOOM! Fi SSD 10! dual 4 ohms, 800watts rms! BEAST! now i know its no beat compared to some subs on here, but i just did a quick test, on about 200 watts rms, and i got roof, window, and DOOR FLEX!!! :D !!
heres a quick comparison pic to my old, fuel audio STA 10........ monster motor!
im chuffed, absolutely and completely chuffed........ oh, and the best part? I DIDNT PAY A PENNY FOR THE SUB OR BOX! i swapped for a set of bucket seats, that cost virtually nothing! JACKPOT!
now, what amp to buy, with the money ive saved!
