Default Sub suggestions

I got my new stealth box in a couple of weeks ago and I need some suggestions for a 10" sub. I'll probably be using my trusty old JBL BP1200.1 amp

What is your price range for a 10" sub?
Also what kind of music will you be mostly lisstening to?

RMS Power at 4 Ohms 600 W x 1???
RMS Power at 2 Ohms 1200 W x 1???

Thats one hell of an amp for a single 10"!
I think you want to be looking into a subwoofer with
DVC at 2 ohms
or a
SVC at 4 ohms

I am not so sure how many 10" subwoofers can handle 1200 watts and fit or sound good in a stealth box.

Subwoofers: (just some examples)
Rockford Fosgate T110D2
Diamond Audio M610D2
RE Audio SX10
Diamond Audio D910D2

In all honest i think that amp is too big for your application, if you had an amp thats 400 watts at a 4 ohm load that would be a better combo with that box.

The amp can be turned down.

If budget isn't a problem I'd go for a Sound Splinter RL-i 10

i would reccomend the new (again) PPI pro series 10" sub. i havnt heard the new one, but the design is supposed to be similar to the old ones that were awesome.

I know the amp is a lot of power for a 10. I figure I'll just turn down the amp. The 10 I was looking at is too big to use and still have the t-tops fit. It sticks out too much I'll give some of those others a look

I think the air space is .85 cu but I'm not exaclty sure what the mounting depth is.

alpine type x 10". size requirement is almost perfect after sub displacement in the stealthbox

TC OEM 10 inch if you can still find out. What freakin' beasts.

You'd need about 1000 watts rms however.
