10", 500w RMS, small space, <$150...what say ye?

If you can find an older US made RE SE 10 they are bad ass I love the sound of mine and I have its suffocating in the thunderform I have it in now.

A 15x14x4/12 in 3/4 is 0.635gross

In that space idd run 2off

Sd2-8 and you should have 0.5net (0.25each)

And run them on

7-800rms like the q1-750d or sae-600d

All will be 200-230amps

^^^ this is a good idea

Ok...so I decided on the Sundown Audio 8" sub...going with just one for now in a sealed box. I also ordered the Rockford Fosgate R500X1D Prime amp tonight. I maybe should have went with the 750 but there's a $100 difference in price and I can use that savings for some deadening...besides, from what I have read the R500 is pushing more like 650ish RMS at 2 ohm which brings up a newb question...if I'm running one sub, what do I need to get to run it at a 2 ohm load at the amp? A 4 ohm DVC wired parallel?

Maybe later I can add a second sub and upgrade the amp to the 750 and run it at 1 ohm.

witch sub are you planing on getting

Right a single D4, coils wired in parallel is 2 ohm final. Nice sub.

SD-2 8 D4

[Nubster]

Amp, sub, wiring ordered. Time to design the box!

[john253a]

If your going a single sealed

Get the sd10 not 8

Idd still do 2x 8 but if money isn't there it isn't there

So get a single 10 if only 1

[Nubster]

Yeah...I may just build the box for two subs and add the second one a little later. If it's ok to build it so the subs have separate space or should they be share the same airspace?
