Onelowgreek Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 What's up everyone?! I have a 2013 Mazdspeed3 and just purchased an Audio Integration's 10" sealed sub enclosure with airspace of .60-.65 cu. ft. Right now I'm debating between running one of the following amps: -Sundown SAE-600D -Crescendo S600.1 Due to the fact I don't want to run anymore power than either one of those amps can produce. Here are the sub options I have so far: -Fi Audio X series 10" -SunDown SD-3 10" -SSA GCON 10" -DC Audio Level 2 10" I'm looking for a good mix of a loud sub but musical at the same time. I want to keep the budget around $200 for the sub. Options/Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainStryke Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Personally, in that power range i'd look at an Alpine MRV-M500 and the Fi X series with D4 option. The Alpine does around 600w @ 2OHM's which is going to be a lot more efficient than either of the amps listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny you mention the Alpine MRV-M500, that was the amp I was originally looking at picking up. Only thing that sucks is the FI X series is out of stock right now...

BoomZoom808 Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 CT sounds stratto 10's are on sale for 99$ On their EBay store personally in an enclosure that small you want more power. If you do the big 3 and run quality wire the Mazda can push 1K no problem. I think the speed has a bigger stock all too 2010 Mazda 3s 2.5L Pioneer DEH-X9600BHS Knu OFC 1/0 SS Platinum AGM / XS Power XP750 Alpine PDX F-4 / Morel Maximo 5 + Coax 5 IA 10.1 / SSA XCON 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want anything crazy in this car since it's my daily, 1 10" sub on 500 watts will be plenty for me. I have a Fi Q 15" sitting in my garage but I'm not willing to loose cargo space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron36 Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 CT sounds make very good quality subs. I'm a DD guy but can't get much for under 200 from DD. 2022 Ford Maverick on 22’s Skar SK1500.1 on 4 Skar VD-8’s Mids Sundown Super tweeters, Skar TX 6.5 components on Skar SKM400.4 LC2 for audio control , XS Power D680 XS Series Extra Battery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onelowgreek Posted February 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 I said screw it and just ordered myself the CT Sounds Stratos v2.0 10" off eBay for $99.99 shipped, hopefully should do the trick. Look like a decently build sub especially for such a cheap ass price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onelowgreek Posted February 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 So im getting ready to dig out all my wiring in the garage to see what I have before I place an order. In your opinion will I need to do a big 3 or 4 upgrade if I'm just running the Alpine MRV-M500 amp? I don't mind doing the work but if it isn't required I don't want to waste my time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
