Finding the perfect 10"

No, it's not a porn title...

Long time since I've posted. About 8 years. Life hit hard and I'm just getting back on my feet and into some car audio again. 

 

So I've owned small Craigslist set ups over the past few years and I'm really wanting to finally just build and buy my own. I did a temporary cheap set up but am ready to plan a real one. I'm currently running a MOFO 10" powered by a planet audio trq3000. Probably 800 rms at most.

 

Amp will be upgraded to a better quality amp. But that's not where I'm stuck. Where I'm stuck is finding the perfect 10". My box is currently at 2 cu ft with a 4" aero at 32 hz. My goal is to find a 10" that's better quality. I know 12s, 15s, and 18s would be better for lows but with the space I have, small is better and I like to be a little different. 

 

I'd like to stay around $200 for a 10" but may save another $100 if it's well worth it. Staying around 1k Watts rms and a sub that likes it low. I have a few brands in interested in but with being out for so long, idk what's what anymore. I'd be willing to build a new box too but can't get too big.  Here's a few 10s I had picked out

Skar evl-10

Seven SS1000

Massive summoxl 10

AB xfl 10

AB TNT 10

Dark audio DKI 10

PSI series 2 10" (with boosters)

NEP advanced 10"

Soundqubed HDS3 10

Thank you all! Feels good to be back into car audio.

14x24x14 is about the box size for a 12" sub, so just get a 12" and build a proper box for it, "perfect" is the hard part, you should say how much power you intend to run and what music you listen to to get better suggestions. If you still want a 10" you should look for a 10" that works on bigger boxes or you are going to get a rather strong peaky response.

So should I just go with a 12? I have a 94 Civic and kids so very small trunk space but if that box size is already good for a 12, then I can swing that. 

 

I used to have a thread on here years ago with slowed music I edited. So I have a lot of slowed rap songs and low bass music in general (killshot has been my song recently)
