im looking for a new sub but i cant seem to find what i want. i have a few specifics though that cant be skipped.
- it must need at least 11" mounting hole,. preferably exactly 11" (my box`s hole is 11" and im NOT building a new one)
- it cannot have a mounting depth more than 7"
- it must behave well in a 0.8 cft sealed enclosure
- im preferably looking for a SQ sub as i got a SQ system, but its no biggie if it can play loud as well :)

btw: its going too be feed with a phoenix gold zpa 0.5 (about 1000W at 4/1ohm)

also... is there any place i can buy a special glue or something to glue a subs "surrounding" (couldnt remember the propper name for it) on to the chassis? about 2" came loose on my current sub..

as far as the gluing goes you can probably use some super/krazy glue to stick it back down.

thanks. i might try that. should be better than nothing at least.
btw: my current sub is a peerless xls 12 (the first version) so any suggestions on a new one should hopefully be an upgrade from here.

anyone?

I would most definately look into Image Dynamics, the Arc series woofer, and the Diyma Reference woofer. These woofers all work well in small enclosures with great sound quality. You have an awful lot of power so I'd be very careful with the gain.

i've had great results with two part epoxy to glue rubber surrounds back to the frame

I've used JB Weld on some old Bostwick 4 inchers one time. They're still holding up!
