okay i need helping finding the best sub/ subs for me. heres what i have so far:

Sundown Audio SAE 1200D

2.2 cuft max box area

6.5" mounting depth is the max i can get for the subs

$350 price range overall

my goals are to get something that is loud but also sounds good.

im leaning towards 1 10" Fi BL with cooling and flatwind coil. but does anybody else have any recommendations? Thanks

Why not get you a DC level 4. You could get a 10 or 12 and have a good loud sub that sounds good.

12 is too big... and i think the 10" Bl with the options would be louder than the dc lvl 4

y not get a q and upgrade the cooling on it with the bp option ... it will handle that power daily

Terrible recommendation.

If someone asks for loud they really want the BL in the Fi line. There is a huge misconception that Sound Quality means "sounds good" which of course by nature it does, but at the expense of loud. A smooth frequency response has no peaks which means that you are leaving many dB's on the table. When a poster requests loud more than 99% of the time the peakiness of a ported sub like the BL will still sound good and regularly would sound much better than a Q in an ideal enclosure to them.

any other suggestions?

DD 9510g

mounting depth is too big... i need something that is 6.5" mounting depth max (not including pole vent)

Why not 2 DC Audio Level 2 10s?

Mounting depth is under 6" and requires 0.7 cubes per sub ported and are rated together at 600wrms\1200wpeak.

You properly set up your amp and this would be a very nice choice.
