Default Best 10" subwoofer

Since I blew my sub, I need some opinions, I haven't looked for any subs for a while.

It must handle ~350watts RMS at 4 ohms.

Under $150

What do you guys recommend?

My vote would be for an Image Dynamics IDQ10v2. You might have a little to much power for it but if you set your gain accordingly, this would be my recommendation for that price range. :yesnod:

I guess I should specify, $150 on ebay which is usually at least $50 less than retail.

I haven't heard them but I have read many good things about the CDT MS-10s. You could do a pair of them in a 1 ft^3 box for $160 from ~The Zeb~. I am thinking about doing two of these in my truck. :yesnod: Or I might even do four 8" drivers instead. Decision, decisions, decisions.......

4 8s would sound better in my opinion, depending on the type of music you listen to. What drivers were you thinking about for the 8s?

lol where do you shop? around here the old model 10w6 is only $149 at a walk in retail store. if you have under $150 to spend you can buy a eclipse aluminum 10" off ebay. searching for it is tricky, type eclipse 10" other options are the old model JL w6 which is a GREAT driver or the phoenix gold ti 10 that just came out. any of those 3 will have you just gitty. here's the one i have in my corvette

The JL 10" W3d2v2 is about 160.00 or so... and will work great in your expected power area.

Get the 10w3.2 or IDQ. Skip the JL O and JL 1 series woofers. Waste of time, space, and money. One 10w3.2 will sound better than 2 10w0.

if you have under $150 to spend you can buy a eclipse aluminum 10" off ebay.
But it is heavy. I believe around 50 lbs for the sub.
I really love them and about to get one 12" but it weights 55 lbs :eek:

weight is just the same as a w3 or w6, i've used them all. this is a real purist sub, the eclipse that is. very accurate and sound quality oriented.
