Hello,

I am looking for a DVC sub that need will work well with my 2 channel RF 800a2.  Also, it needs to meet these criteria: 1) DVC 2+2 oms so I can bridge the amp to momo and run 4 ohms.  2) is a 10 inch sub, 3) will work well in a small enclosure...sealed and .76 cubic inches gross internal volume. 

So far..the only thing I found that will do all that is an Alpine type S. 

However...there has to be something thats a bit better than a type S. 

Thanks,

i've 2 kicker comp vr's, dual 2 ohm.  another thing, if you wanna run 4 ohm why not just get a svc 4 ohm?? if you parallel a dual 2 ohm sub you get a 1 ohm load, you would have to series it to acheive a 4 ohm load. if you want 4 ohm there's many many svc subs out there that you would probably like
what!?!?! you want some??

One Kicker L7 will meet your criteria, you may have to order the dual 2 ohm in though because a lot of dealers dont stock them but they do exist. I also have to ask why it HAS to be dual 2 ohm when a single 4 ohm would give you the same results. And before you say that its for power handling reasons, there are lots of single 4 ohm subs that can handle that amp so throw that out the window before hand.

Woofer choice depends entirely on what you want out of it.  Do you want testicle-crushing SPL, or high sound quality?  What kind of music do you listen to?  What are your main speakers and where are they crossed over?  Think about the system you want to build and don't fixate on the subs.  Too many people do that and then they wonder why they only hear bass or they blow out their mains trying to keep up with the "killer" subs they bought...

This one goes into my list of memorable quotes  :)

I'm selling an Orin H2 12.2 sub, But its 12" sub, I only requires .5 cu ft for max output plus what the sub displacement so about between .80 and 1.0 total cu ft would work.

I got Boston Acoustic's up front and Kappas in the back - running of a seperate 4 channel amp. 

I got the RF 800a2 for the sub...but need to find the best woofer for it.  Also...I got a woman to do the testicle crushing...so I'm looking for SQ.

I also have two 10" eclipse aluminum subs but they are dual 4 ohm subs, these has awesome SQ, Just ask around. What amp do you have? You could run each sub for each channel at 2ohms.  Belive me 2 subs for that amp wil sound better than just one sub.

You posted this question in another thread on May 2, and DYohn suggested "If what you are looking for is better SQ than you have now, forget about JL altogether and listen to a JBL W10GTi, a Nakamichi SP-W1000D, an Eclipse Titanium SW9102, or a Planet V10D."  

Then forbidden "I would choose a dvc 4 ohm sub and wire it up in series. This will make it an 8 ohm sub and knock the amps power back to something reasonable so that you can actually listen to the music. The JL is a good sub, personally I would head in the direction of one Eclipse Aluminum SW8102dvc and build the proper 1.25 cu.ft sealed enclosure for it and play away to your hearts content."

Have you listened to these yet and if so are they eliminated?  And, as asked before me, why the dual 2 ohm option, when it will only give you 4 ohms anyway?

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.
