Hi I am faced with a problem. I want to put 2 10" subs in my boot but I can only fit a 1 cubic foot box in (1 for each sub). So my question is what good quality 10" subs can I get that will sound good ina 1 cubic foot box. Amp is a Jacar 150 X 2.

Thanks for any help.

what's your budget?

there's quite a few available that should suit:
*alpine type-S/R
*JL audio W0/W3 series
*image dynamics IDQ10.v2
*hertz
*xtant, PG, polk audio, etc

good luck

Boston Pros work well in very small sealed enclosures. From memory, the 10's will pound in an enclosure of 1 foot. They will need plenty of power though.

All work well in 1.0 cubes (or less) in either ported or sealed enclosures.

My budget is about $600. And I want more Sound Quality instead of flogging them to get max SPL.

$600 for a couple subs is a decent budget, so you have the choice of buying some nice subs. however, nice subs tend to perform best with nice subamps.

so, if realistically, you will only have a budget amp that won't be replaced in the future, then maybe stick with some good but cheaper subs. otherwise, you'll be stuck with subs that don't reach their potential, and may in fact sound worse than a couple cheaper subs that are performing in their sweet spots. basically it's like the JL W3 vs W0 series, or alpine type-R vs type-S.

having said that, it tends to be the more expensive subs that perform better in smaller boxes too!

anyway, you should find the JL 10W3 and alpine SWR-1021D type-R subs to have a RRP around $300~349, so the streetprice for 2 of them will be within budget. these make a good reference point around which to compare other subs, so definitely worth a listen to them.

so what subamp are you planning on using. ideally 200~300WRMS per sub. and if much less, then consider the lower model subs that will perform very well with lower power.

the amp will also dictate what impedence subs you'll need (eg: 4ohm vs 8ohm).

good luck

Yeah, what amp are you gonna be running into them?...
Off the bat, in that budget, i would probably go with shiny and recommend the JL W3's...

I would initialy be running them off a jaycar 2X150wrms and I would hope to run the subs in 4ohm config off of the amp at 4ohm bridged.

ah ok. the jaycar's pump out pretty decent power.

IMO, they would drive a couple basic subs (eg: JL 10W0, alpine type-S) very, very well. with the better version subs, the jaycar will make them perform nicely indeed; but there'd still be potential in them should you ever upgrade the subamp. but they won't be underdone with the jaycar, so it'd be a fair choice on a budget for a subamp.

you'll also need 8ohm versions of any sub you buy. this will allow them to be parallel wired together to create the 4ohm overall you are after. in the case of the JL W3 and alpine type-R subs and any other DVC ones, you'll need the 4+4ohm DVC versions.

so, audition away, and let us know what you find.

good luck

Thanks for the replys and yes I was leaning towards dual voice coil in either the type s or r. so thanks for the help.

cool. and i just reread your opening post and you clearly say you have a jaycar '2x150'.

i've gotta get my eyes checked.

Hey shiny I dont actually have the amp yet I am still trying to find one for the right price. Know of any group buys going on at the moment, or good second hand ones.

If sound-quality is your primary goal, and you also want a sub that is very tight and punchy, I would humbly suggest auditioning the Dynaudio MW-180 10" subwoofer. They will sound exceptional in a 25litre sealed enclosure and will also come close to fitting your budget.
