Recommendation for sub upgrade

Magnetic Z · 07-01-2015, 09:32 PM

I have a type R that was in my Camaro before it was sold. Was amazed at the sound that came out of it. One catch though: it was in a large ported enclosure. It was made at the largest recommended amount of air space. This made it hit soooo low and clean to my ears, but there really isn't that kind of room in the Z. Would look at reviews for 10's that specify air space used and whether or not it performed well in frequency response range. Good luck!

Depending on the box size, the type r is an awesome 10. I had one in a sealed box and it sounded great, would have sounded better with a little larger of a box. My box was .78 sq-ft + some pollyfill. 1 sq-ft is the minimum you want for the type r, but of course sealed boxes are more forgiving in size.

The JL 10w3v3 is a very powerful and great sounding sub that only requires about .7 cubic feet of box size. I have a Rockford 500 hooked up to it at only 1/4 gain and it gets loud if your looking for that as well.
