Title: best 10" sub
Post by: Andy on July 14, 2013, 12:11:10 am: took my sub and amps out of my car so I could get to the spare wheel but playing hard house music now sounds terrible with out the bass so am going to buy a discreet sub enclosure that houses a 10" sub but not sure which amp and sub to go for

I picked them up only £80 each brand new from caraudiosecurity and now they are double the price :(

Doing an install soon for my cousin with 1 12" L7.

So yeah my recommendation is a kicker L5 / L7 solo baric. They are 450w RMS .

Different sizes of enclosures will give different punch depending on sub.

Also, the volume of that box will work quite well with a hertz hx250 or 250d. I've just added one to my install and well happy with it

Post by: edd666999 on July 15, 2013, 02:52:28 pm: 15l its a lot of volume, especially if you take into account the rear of the sub.

I'd recommend the JL audio 10TW3

Or if that's a little expensive, the spl dynamics xtr250 (you will have to check mounting depth.

I'll post up amps in a second.

Wired into 2ohm.

Give you some nice overhead.
