It depends on what is your definition of best. Are you talking about a good sounding sub or a loud one???? If you like definition the alpines and kappas are nice. I had comp vr once. They sounded the best in a seled box but if you buy them make sure you get the 12's they hit harder and repond better."Just my opinion". In the other hand we have the Rockford he2 i have heard some in shows and damm those bad boys pound. But i din't like how they sounded. About the ti10 i haven heard one yet. Just let us know about what material you will play in them and we can help you decide.

i already have 2 mtx thunder 8000 10 inch subs in my trunk i really dont know how to tell the diffrence between spl and sq because i havent heard many subs before. But on other reviews they say that the 8000's are great for spl and i am building a vented box for them because they are in a bandpass now. If this is the case that the 8000's are alot of spl then i would want a good sq sub to balance the sound. In other words i would like a subwoofer that when combined with 2 thunder 8000's will sound great and still pound like hell. The subwoofer i get will also be put into a vented box unless a vented box isn't good for sq

Well brunno your mtx subs are good. I also had a pair of mtx but used to have the 6000's a couple of years ago. The 8000's are really good subs. It all depends of what type of enclosure you throwed them in. Want Spl buil a spec vented box with a slot type vent. If you want crisp,tight anb solid bass that wil make your vision blurr buil a sealed box for them. The only prob of sealed boxes is that thay don't reproduce very low freq well. So you can put the two 8000's you have now in a vented box and buy a third one and put it in a sealed box. You will notice the diference.

well now that i know what kind of enclosure to put the sub in the problem is picking one. i was and am really intrested in the ti10 but any of these will sound good i think. Now if i could get input from someone that has experience with all of these or some of them, that could recommend one that would be appreciated

Well i have two alpine r 12's in a custom box with two sealed chambers. 1cu ft each chamber and they hit very hard and have exelent sound quality. The thing i love about them is that thay are very musical. Forget about the type s and go with the types r wich will handle more power. I will review the ti 10 and ask my buddies.

Well that ti sub look like a good sub. It has a lot of ex max and have 2.5in voice coil. Huge magnet two so i think you should be fine with it. Just remember to go sealed with it. He should roock like no tomorow.

I just bought the Type S's I had three and it pounded hard so do two though. They like the deep beats too. Well worth the money.

I have two Ti10's sitting beside me, brand new. Never heard them, except when I first got them I tested them to make sure they weren't duds with 150W at about 1/2 volume. Buying the system piece by piece as I can afford it. But at that low power and volume I could still tell that they will hit lower and harder than my IDQ's when fully powered. If you go with these, let us know how they work for you.

P.S.- If you're going to buy them on e-bay, be careful. Make sure you check out the seller good before you buy. Even then I wouldn't recommend it.

As A competitor i have seen alot of things. In North Carolina there is this man with a blue Impala with 2x12 MTX 8000 with the 8100's pushing each sub in a 4th order bandpass. Very clean sounding as well as monstrously loud.
