Need help picking subs

[JoeHemi57 0]

Current stuff is on the way out, heres what i have so far:

Eclipse AVN 2210p double din cd/nav unit

Alpine Type X SPX17-REF 6.5" components (07 model)

DLS A5 amp (for sale, will be replaced with Arc KS900.6)

Components will be bi-amped, channels 5&6 will be bridged at 1ohm for sub which should be ~550-600w. I'm leaning to a pair of new Assassin 10's ported in a console box but may get a pair of the 12's in a more conventional arrangement behind the seat. Truck is an 07 Ram reg cab so i have plenty of room, budget is $250.

well i got a good price on the new IDQ's so i'm getting a pair of the 10's. Just waiting on a ship date from Arc on the amp.

It really came down to personal preference, not brand loyalty since i've had ascendant and ID subs in the past. For me the higher xmax, woven leads, and rubber surround were the deciding factors.

Just been looking for more Ascendant reviews. Why the rubber surround?
