Recommendations for subthump box
My new subthump 1 10" box should be here in a few days...I'm so excited! The specs on their website said the airspace was .99, what kind of sub would you all recommend for it? I want to upgrade my present one, I have an old infinity

The subthump box from calculations made in previous threads should work out to be about .80cu^3 for the stealth style box. My connection is too slow to go look up the other threads heh. Many 10" subs will work well in this enclosure including:
Image Dynamics IDQ 10" (the idqmax is too deep)
Arc Audio 10" (kar and their other line, almost same as IDQ)
Infinity Perfect DVQ 10"
JL 10w3/10w6 (slight mod needed for the 10w6)
Diamond d3 10" possibly the d6 (can't remember depth)
Answer a few questions IE what music do you listen to mostly? How loud? How much "bass" do you really want? Enough for the neighbors to hear? Enough to just fill out the audio spectrum? Enough to give some good "punch"? How many watts do you plan on running to the sub?

want it to bump alright, but not looking to blow off the doors. I like it to fill out the music. 600 watt amp. I was thinkin either JL or Infinity. Image and Diamond I can't find decent prices for...they are pretty pricy, although I have heard very good things about them

Diamond should be less expensive than JL unless you look at the w1 or w3 series and then the lower end Diamond is pretty comparable. The elemental designs speakers are pretty inexpensive as are the Arc Audio subs.
I bought an IDQ 12 on ebay from a dude named Jon Allabaugh that works well .. will find out how well on Monday
It was a refurb'd reconed, new voice coil etc. Few scratches on the basket are only signs that it was used. Paid $90 shipped.
Infinity Perfect 10 VQ (get the VQ or the DVQ) is like $150 on ebay as well.
