?'s about Subthump Stealth Box Has anyone put a 12" in the 10" Box successfully? If so what Sub?
Also what Sub are you currently running in it? Pro's/Con's of the Sub and Box? How much wattage are you giving the sub?
I have decided to buy a subthump box already. I am just having a hard time finding a 10" sub that will take 700-800watts daily that isn't over $120. So any help or recommendations are appreciated.
Thanks,
John

When you want high power handling, you can't set a low budget 
The subthump box is pretty small for 95% of the 12s out there... there are only a few that would work WELL in such a small enclosure.
Here is a 10" woofer that will handle 1000 watts of clean power:

It is $159 shipped though. It will also work in as small as a 0.4cF box. Subthump's box is 0.6cF.

I would be most concerned with getting a sub that works well with the volume available from that box. You could always invert the sub so depth really isn't that much of an issue. Take that for what it is worth since I dont have experience with this box, but inverting a sub has zero effect on performance.

This is the only sub that comes to mind close to your budget -- minimum recommended airspace is .7 cu.ft.......subthump stealth is .6 cu.ft as mentioned.......close as you're gonna get I think. Depth is fine as well.

It can handle 400 watts of continuous power, but don’t be afraid to feed it 1000 clean watts as the voice coil will harness that power and deliver surprising sound pressure levels.
An IDQ is the best option, but its $159 I believe. It will work in 0.35cF up to 0.70cF.

That would be a short limb
My buddy had a 10" L7 in a stealth box and the sub actually rubbed the t-tops a little bit under high excursion. If the cone will rub, I doubt you can get the basket and magnet to fit
The box actually has a fair amount of depth to it, just no volume.

Their rating is a 24 hour period of running 400 watts! If they can take 400 watts for 24 hours, they can take a couple hundred more watts for 1 or 2 hours 
Very underrated drivers

What if I upped my spending limit to $160 for the sub shipped to my door? Is the TC-1000 still the best bet? Also the sub will be being played as I drive to Kansas this summer from Florida so roughly 7 hours straight for 2-3days. It will be unbridged on a 1400.1 MMATS amp so I figure that it should be getting 600 watts power more than likely instead of the 700-800watts. Gain will be between 1/2 and 3/4 on the map more than likely.

I don't know if it is "the best" because "the best" is a subjective opinion. There isn't really one "best" subwoofer out there. I think you'd be pretty happy with a TC-1000 though.

I understand what you mean by their being no single best sub. I am saying is it the best sub for the money I am spending on it and the power it will see along with the stealth box it is going in.
