Well, it has been a few weeks now with my sony 10's, and I like them. But I am looking for something a bit better. I listen to pretty much everything from rap, to classic rock, and even some willy nelson ever so often :P So basicaly I am looking for something to add a bit more bang but with a focus on clarity. My amp is a sony mono amp that puts out about 250 rms. Its the newest sony amp so I don't think it is overestimated much at all. So as far as power goes, I am trying to keep it between 200 and 300 watts rms.

So, here are my prime suspects:

Rockford Fosgate Stage 2 10" (These have a low mount depth but only 1 voice coil)

Alpine Type R (DVC, but sort of deep)

JL Audio w3v2 (DVC, pretty shallow, most expensive)

Any others I should check out?

The new subs will be put into 2 stealthboxes that I am going to start work on within a few weeks. I want to decide what I am going to upgrade to before then, if I will upgrade at all, because the box will need to be tailored to that sub. They have to be 10's because thats all I have room for (and I don't like 8's).

I realize that this is something of an opinion request, but if yall can tell me any practical knowledge about which works better, is more clear, that sort of thing, I would appreciate it.

Peace

There is no such thing, actually, as "the best sub."  The best sub for YOU is the one you like to listen to that fits into your budget.  How much are you willing to spend?

Try out the subs you are interested in, and which ever sounds best to you. Take It.
is that a 10-4?

I prefer the JL Audio sub, but listen to all of them and decide which one you (and your budget) like best.
