O.K. So I didn't get the Focal 27V. Someone that worked at the store took it for themself.
I need a quality 10" sub for my new S.Q.system that will give it's best when given 400WRMS
Has anyone here owned or heard any of these subs others have recommended to me?

Eclipse 88100.4 Aluminium
" " 87101.4
Boston Acoustic Pro 10.5
I.D. IDQ (Max10)?
P.G. Ti10, Ti10D
Peerless XLS10
Hertz Air Mille Air2500
Other?

I'm looking for the best result possible.
None of these subs are available to listen to locally so if anyone can recommend a particular sub I'll track one down in Brisbane or the G.C. to have a listen.
Thanx.

I'd listen to the Eclipse, i am quite impressed by their subs

[GTS_t]

Thanks gooki. I'll see if Phil has one I can audition.
Poida Which Eclipse have you listened to?

Image Dynamics IDQ10v2 has to be on the list and the PG Ti10 or Kicker S10L7.
All of those would be for sealed use only IMO.

Hearing well set up examples in a car is the hard part.
The Image Dynamics has to be the "sure thing" of moderately priced SQ subs, talk to Hutch for help there.
The Kicker square is one of those "taste" things. They have a distinctive sound and if you dig that sound they are compelling.....ask anyone with an L7.

The PGs I will reserve judgement on until my twin 12s are run-in (not in the car yet) but they look to be the Biz and look waaaay sexxy.

A couple of guys on forums in the USA swear by Adire Audio Brahma 10's for both SQ and SPL...and apparently they work in a sealed box from .35-.75 cubic feet....

[GTS_t]

Critter Do you know who sells I.D. in Bris or G.C.? Price?
Is the P.G.Ti10 4ohm , Is the Ti10D DVC ?

RoughCactus Who sells the Brama in Aust.? How much?

my gf has a Boston 10.5 in her car, i have alwasy love he sound of them. have look around and have a listen, everyones tastes are different

[clinker]

eclipse aluminium series 10" are not too badat all !!! i just ordered myself two today ...

focal utopia 11" for outright sq but, was my last sub and was the nicest sq sub i have ever heard

[GTS_t]

fuddbutter What box is the Boston in?

clinker I've wanted to audition the Eclipse for a while as I've recently bought one of their decks.

The Utopia would be difficult to fit in my application due to the large size of the motor assembly but it's definitely one of the best.

[Brucee]

have u try X-Tant (X-series)?, it's sound realy nice

[GTS_t]

Brucee Is the X series the hexagonal ones. They look awesome but how much do they cost?

[Soundwerks]

DLS, Velodyne, a/d/s, PHD, HSU Research, Oz Audio.

As everyone always says though, a lot will come down to box design and installation. I've heard many high-end subs sound aweful due to poor install (and also some "not-so-high-end" subs sound suprisingly good due to great install!)

having auditioned fuddbutter's boston pro, i can say it's a very fine subbie offering great smooth subbass. from memory it's in a 2cuft sealed box.

lots of good suggestions offered. but i think a few will be over your limit (eg: xtant hex, velodyne, etc).

boston pro, dls magnesium, IDQ, or PG Ti would be on my shortlist to audition to see if they suit.

good luck

[GTS_t]

shiny_car Isn't a sealed 56L box a little on the large side for a Boston 10"? I haven't really set a price limit although I expect to spend maybe $500-$750. I just want the sub that will suit my system the best.
