Hi all,

I will be putting together my system in a week or so and I have two old RF punch rfp1810 10" subs in a sealed box..
I was thinking what would be a good SQ sub? Prefferably a 10"

Here's what I have:
Focal polyglass 165 vr components
Boston Acoustics sc65 for rear panel

Thanks for you inputs!

 

Budget is prolly $350 for just the sub.

 

Alpine type r 's , type x's, cerwin vega stroker pro 's , JBL W10gti , and most fi subs are good too i prefer fi btl 's but i guess it all depends on how much power you really want to push.

 

Can't go wrong with the JL 10W6v2. Image Dynamics IDMax 10" is another one. I would probably go with the JBL W10GTI if you have the mounting depth.

 

^^How do you like your JL W6v2?

 

I'm not using the v2, I'm using the original W6. I used to have a 10W6v2 though in my old car. They are probably in my opinion one of the best all around 10" subs you can buy. Another one to look at is the Polk Audio SR10. I switched back and forth with it and the W6v2 in my car before my G about every month and was very impressed with it as well. It got louder then the W6 but seemed to be a little muddy and not as articulate.

How much wattage will you have available?

 

I am thinking around 500 rms..

 

Everyone praises the IDQ10, but one of the DIYMA admins did a full comparison with the Sundown SA-10, and the SA-10 came out with better accuracy, for about $50 less.

I love my JL 10w6v2, but I don't try and fool myself into thinking it's the best for the money, or best even, it's just a very good sub that's expensive.

 

Keep your current subs

old school rockford ftw

Throw them in the right ported box tuned low(28-30hz)
Eq out any peaks

and boom..you have a sub that is flat from 80 to 25

 

I should be recieving the rest of my car audio stuff this week..I will test the old RF subs with my new amp since they were underpowered when I had them in my old car.
