Well, if you are looking for a good sub for a small enclosure, why not look at the Infinity Kappa perfect 10.1's. They are best in a .6cft enclosure and have a efficiency rating of 94db. Very nice subs.

Mathmatically the Brahma is a better fit. As far as sound and quality, I have no idea as no one I know has these subs, but I have heard and read nothing but good things. Price is somewhat of an issue, but not as much as the space and sound. I might have to put my blown Eclipse in for shows until I figure it out. At least my inside speakers still work:)

Adire subs with XBL^2 technology have great sound quality. Whatever changes they make to the Brahma line, I have no doubts the Brahma will continue to be on a very short list of quality subwoofers.

I would wait for the new line.

I would stay away from the t1 sub it is built for large ported enclosure, another line i would consider is the directed audio new sx series, I just got some of thes in last week and they slam, Im not kidding they hit harder than my eclips subs, and are ideal for small enclosured. you can go to directed.com and check thes bad boys out. I sell these boys for 199.00 very nice for this sub, but this is prices here in alaska cost of living is very high here you might get them for cheaper in a local shop.

.6 is small? IDQ's only need .25 Best 10 sub for small sealed space - Page 2 - Last Post -- posted image.

We crammed 8-15's IDQ's in a 98 Geo metro several years back. No need to mention that the idq's were the only 15" sub that would work with such a small volume.

Yes, the IDQ's are rated for .25, but the IDMAX's require a bit more. .75-1.0 cu ft. for them which is the way I would go if I were to use Image Dynamics. Ebay has brand new IDMAX's for $259 a piece, not too shabby. I would really like to see this new Adire lineup first though.

Yes, the IDQ is a great small box sub, but not an SPL sub. That much power will destroy one.

I love mine, but I could give a rip about high spl. :-)

I'd probably destroy it as well.

I dropped a IDmax ten in an enclosure below rec. for the woofer and it still sounded excellent. I don't like the sound of the w7 or brahma's personally. I prefer the higher octave punch the Idmax has. Low end is still very good as well, but I have heard some of my friends say they think it lacks solidity.
