First off let me say Hi.

I am looking for a free air sub to replace my factory 10" sub on my cadillac cts deck

Now to answer some questions that i know will be asked.

I am not in to competition.....

I don't care to be heard a 1/2 a mile away.....

This is a daily drive...will only need upwards of about 600 watts.....

I don't want a box because i wan't my trunk space....

Now that i've got that stuff out of the way I just need a nice 10" free air sub-woofer

Fi IB3s are built for that. The smallest size you can get them is a 12" though

What about the new sundown X subs? Those are rated according to what they can take free air at 20hz IIRC. So it may be a good candidate. But then again I don't know much about IB setups

i mean it's not the only option i have just wanted to try and save space. I do have a custom box made for a single SA-12 that i never used.

The one in the avatar to the left. I guess i could mount the amp in the trunk and take the box out if i need more room.

You may be able to angle mount the FI 12 in there with some creative thinking.

worst case as stated if you wanted the fi with a little ingenuity and design you could get the 12 to fit in the stock location

whats wrong with fat chicks? they are like mopeds, as long as your friends dont see you riding it, they are a blast! hahah

I am dumb as a stump. I live in the south and we are all dumb here.
