10 inch Sub and Amp choice

Hello I have a 10 inch enclosed box that hides in the back trunk area on the driverside, it is stuffed with cotton or pillow fibers.
I need advice on picking a Sub for this box! It's for my 96 z28. I may not mess with the door speakers.

Also a Amp to run the sub and possibly two 6.5 speakers in the rear sail panel on high frequency.

I want it to be a good hard hitting loud system but not to the point of needing a better alternator or an extra battery.
I already have a great head unit, a clarion with all the options.

...so are all your speakers just running off the HU? Are you wanting current subs, or willing to go old school from the era the car is from?

...either way, you’re looking for a sub that’s recommended for small sealed enclosures (0.5 - 0.6 cu ft)

I would say 500-600 watts on any relatively decent 10 would be enough. If you want a sub that can get loud try a DC Audio Level 2, or a Sundown Audio E-10.

I was looking at the JL Audio 10W0v3-4 10
It has a range of 75-300 RMS
Would this be good for the sub box I have?
So then I would need to find a amp that powers 300 RMS and will power at least 2 sail panel speakers at 50-75 RMS.

Rockford Fosgate Prime R2-500x1 @ 4 Ohms is 300 watts. And the Prime R2 200x2 is 50 watts x 2 @ 4 Ohms and 100 watts x 2 @ 2 Ohms.

Thanks Jon, I think im going to get that RF prime with 300rms at 4 ohms.
i believe my stealth box is fiber filled. Can i run a sub that requires around 6-7 cubic feet like the mentioned jl audio sub?
