Help me decide on some new subs

[troutspinner]

I am going to pull the trigger on a Dual Netaudio Enclosure for my Crew Cab and I need to figure out what subs to put in it.

I think 10's fit my music style best so I am thinking 2 10"ers. I will be throwing 275 Watts RMS @ 4 Ohms to each Sub. This is for SQ and not Boom!

The popular choice at this power would most likely be the JL W3V3's but my ears are open to other choices I may not know of. I would however like to stay at the W3V3 price range.

Any and all help is appreciated.

May cost a bit higher than the JL, but you gotta consider the Arc Audio Black. Netaudio is an Arc dealer and loves the blacks in his enclosures as well. Not boomy, very rich, very musical, gentle when need be, but will move some air too.
I love my Black 12v4's

Here are a few choices that perform well..
Polk MM1040
DC Audio level 2... Handles a lot more power..
Alpine Type R
Image Dynamics IDQ - these may require a bit a trimming of the box opening
Dayton Audio HF reference 10

There are many others out there, I have heard or read about all of these, and any of them should perform very good.

Thanks but just way more than I want to spend right now. Looking to keep 2 subs under $400.

The Dayton's are intriguing......Bang for buck?

I have no personally heard the Daytons but I have read some good reviews.

Bang for buck Dayton's will perform well. SSA would be great as well. Morels would fit your bill and maybe a sundown x8 would work.

The daytons are really good subs but very
inefficient.

I ordered the JL tw3 12" from lizard kings buddy he did them for $250.

Good advice there.

SSA's are pretty awesome subs... So are FI, however I wasn't real pleased with FI's customer service.. I tried to buy one of their subs.. Wound up with a DC 12.

Good advice there.

I have actually used them before and I really liked them but they need a lot of power. Compare the efficiency and xmax of the Dayton vs the SSA Dcon. trust me the SSA isn't an spl sub. They sound great. You'll move a lot more air with the SSA than the Dayton with less power and they sound really good.

The SSA Dcon looks real interesting to me and I like the price. Definitely on the short list.

My local dealer sells Sundown, they are some wicked looking subs. I don't think I'll be throwing enough power at them though, 275 RMS each sub is my intention.

Review at DIY of a previous gen Dcon. This is not myself doing the review.
