Default best sub for stealth box?

This is for a C5 stealth box, I believe the airspace is .8 cubic ft. What 10" sub would you recommend and while your at it, what amp? FYI, I am looking for best bang for your buck. Thanks

I did an Ininity 10" for mine. The actual model escapes me.

why wouldn't you use a 12" sub instead of one 10" sub?

For .8 cubic try a Kicker solo classic. Its gonna take some power, prob. around 400watts. Perfect sub for that airspace

I did some research and it appears many of the 12" subs need more than .8 cubic ft of airspace. That is the only reason I am asking about 10" subs. If there is a 12" sub out there that would be at it's full potential with this set up, then I'm all for it.

Kicker 12" solo classic requires .88 cu ft. With lots of polyfill, you should be okay.

a subthump stealth box has 0.85cf of air space and a 6 3/8" mounting depth. a kicker solo classic needs 0.88 cf of air space and 6 5/16" mounting depth.

the kicker solo classic is the perfect sub for a stealth box. i ran mine at 900w and it was awesome.
