Need 10" Subwoofer Reco

[jrodhotrod]

Hey guys, I need an affordable 10" subwoofer to put in the truck we just got. It will be behind the front seats in an extended cab pickup.

I have a Q-Logic box that is approx .85 sq ft. I also have some polyfill for it.

Mounting depth is 5 3/4" or so.

I need a 4ohm load as I am bridging 2 channels on a 4 channel amp. The RMS power at 4ohms is 175watts. (it's a kicker amp that has a certificate stating actual output is 380 watts so RMS may actually be in the 190 -195 range)

So I need a single 4 ohm voice coil or a dual 2 ohm voice coil.

Make recs with links to authorized dealers online.

Let's set a $130 price ceiling

I found this beauty at Crutchfield for $129, but I wonder if 175w RMS is enough power?

There is an Infinity Reference at Sounddomain for $89.99 that looks decent:

Any other suggestions?

what are your goals, maximum volume, or best SQ for that price?

are you opposed to ebay stores?

 

[jrodhotrod]

My main goal is SQ, with the ability to pound from time to time.

So I would say SQ for the price is probably the way to go.

And I am not entirely opposed to Ebay stores.

I would buy an ID10v3d2 from SoundDomain for $120:

It's rated for 250 watts RMS but will sound great with 175-380 watts RMS. It should have no problems playing down to 20Hz in a .85cuft enclosure:

Mounting depth is 5.5":

Hadn't heard of them before, I'll check it out. Thanks!

They are more famous for their IDQ line which is arguably one of the best sounding subwoofers on the market (for SQ not SPL obviously). I would have recommended the IDQ but it is out of your price range.

How much can you get an Adire, Shiva or a Koda for these days? I admit I didn't search that hard for it, russian dialup sucks...
