June 12, 201312 yr Depends on what 10s you use. If its 3 x icons/xcons I would say no but something like 3 sa10s could fit but I would watch the gain with that amp. I would do 2 Xcon 10s.You will find out that trying to squeeze more/bigger subs into a box that really isn't optimal than having less/smaller in the best box you can have is going to suck!! You will perform much better with the better enclosure. Edited June 12, 201312 yr by Bassink
June 12, 201312 yr Author I have 2 skar vvx 12s right now & I am now considering dropping down to 2 10s I so I could have some flexibility . You think there would be much loss from dropping from 12's to 10's
June 12, 201312 yr 2 vvx 12s or 2 icon/Xcon 10s (if those are what your going to)? Hahahaha I'd take 1 10 over those vvxs!! Trust me it's going to be night and day difference with 2 10s in a proper box. You will love it!
June 12, 201312 yr Author I got one more for you & thats it I am not trying to bug the shit out of you. The dimensions i gave you earlier for my current box could I put some 10's in that box temporarily or is that a bad idea. I would like to thank you for taking the time to answer my questions & this has changed my whole outlook on what I want do with my setup & maybe I can get it to a point to where I am happy with it.
June 12, 201312 yr Author I had 3 10inch JL w6's about 10 years ago in a mustang & that was pretty awesome that was on an mtx81000d too so I am pretty excited about changing it all up.
June 12, 201312 yr Don't worry about bugging me. I give my phone number out here all the time because I love helping people on ssa. You can pm me anytime about anything and ill try to help you as much as I can. So back to your question? What subs do you want to get. That will determine if you can use it or not.
June 12, 201312 yr Author probably the xcons, those tantrics hdds look nice too. Edited June 12, 201312 yr by Mike1982
June 12, 201312 yr I'd be Leary of any driver that doesn't have any posted specs or prices. Or they don't list specs bc they are custom built to order. Transducer design doesn't work that way.
June 12, 201312 yr The xcons might work ill have to see if the port area is okay. Ill let you know.Don't calculate with the published xmax. Calculate with 25mm which is the approximate coil overhang.
June 12, 201312 yr Author I think that I will probably go with the xcons maybe some sundowns matching equipment would be nice but the I am leaning in the direction of the xcon but budget determines a lot too. Its is just such a big investment & I just want to make sure I am buying the proper subs this time.

Its is just such a big investment & I just want to make sure I am buying the proper subs this time.These subs are supposedly great. I plan to get some xcons or icons soon! Depends on my budget but Im sure you wouldn't be disappointed with the xcons!
June 12, 201312 yr Never owned a xcon but I've heard a few. Great woofers.However, one of my favorite woofers is the Fi Q. They sound fantastic and still get loud. I was metering a 144.x on the dash on a sundown 2k. Worth a look imo.
June 12, 201312 yr Author The fi q would probably be a little cheaper too more sub choices in the mix yea!!! There is no lack of options thats for sure
June 13, 201312 yr FYI..... BL is the same price..... just sayin' .... but you have to factor in shipping costs... The fi q would probably be a little cheaper too more sub choices in the mix yea!!! There is no lack of options thats for sure
June 13, 201312 yr Author I thimking about picking up some x-con 10's seen some used ones on here that look decent Edited June 13, 201312 yr by Mike1982
June 13, 201312 yr try and get a deal for 2 .... just sayin' I thimking about picking up some x-con 10'sseen some used ones on here that look decent
June 13, 201312 yr Ok man I got the design for you. With your dimensions I came up with this: Outer dims - 33w x 14.25h x 24.25d Port dims - 12.75h x 4.75w x 38d Double baffle It came out to 3.4 cubes tuned to 32hz with 61in2 of port area. If you want a 3d sketchup and a cut sheet let me know
June 13, 201312 yr Author that was cool of you I wasnt expecting you to do that. Thats just like the box I have now for my 12s. What kind of air space would you recommend for ideally for the pair of tens. I will get some different measurements to get a better fit than what I currently have.
June 13, 201312 yr Author Here is my problem there is like a trunk bar that runs across the back of the trunk right around where the seats fold down. If I could clear that I could push the box all the way & have 5- 10inch of extra room
June 13, 201312 yr Author I guess also it depends on the orientation of the subs if they are facing the cabin it would probably be better to have a little space in between the subs & the seats folded up the position of the port would be something to think about too. If I face them towards the trunk it would be nice to be able to push the box all the way back. I have only had the subs facing the rear but I have heard in most trunks thats the best way to do it. I am open to any suggestions & not set on anything just looking for the best sound I can get.
June 13, 201312 yr Author here is what it looks like right noww Edited June 13, 201312 yr by Mike1982
