CorNut Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 I currently have a DVC 10" Phoenix Gold RSd in the factory sub location and it sounds mediocre at best. I have an Infinity Kappa amp pushing 400w@2ohm to it. While the RSd is designed for .3-.7 sealed, it doesn't output much. I know I won't get anything spectacular to go inside the box but I'm hoping there's a better option? I read the 10" Dayton Audio HO subs do well in small ported boxes but mine is too small. I'm hoping to find a sub that's capable of 2ohm so I can get 400w out of my amp and capable of having at least decent spl. I am willing to modify the box a bit by adding an external port or something if there's something that will sound decent in a .5 cu ft ported box but I'm sure that's a tall order. I really would prefer something ported but wanting to utilize the factory box probably prevents that but I'm open to suggestions. The box used to be for an 8 from the factory but I ruined it thinking bigger was better. I should have gotten a quality 8, but I was ignorant at the time. I'm hoping you can point me in the right direction so I can salvage my factory box. I don't have room for adding a box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolarbilz Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Fix box to drop 8" back in. No way ported box that small for a 10..sealed your best bet.as for a sub pick and choose the sound might change from brand but won't be any if all louder..

CorNut Posted July 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 I guess I can just put a piece of mdf over it since it's flat and I can just do a cutout for an 8. Is there an 8 that's capable of 2ohm and porting in .5 cu ft? The exhaust on the car is pretty loud, I'm looking for SPL more than SQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
