10" Sub Help Please

[Evil Twin]

Hello everyone, new to the forums after browsing for a while. I would like some input on some 10" subs. I am a rocker and want to feel the bass, but dont want to wake up the neighborhood. My goal is to have 2 in the trunk, and HOPE to keep the cost as close to $100 each as I can. Married and on a budget. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I have been looking at several 10" subs as of late, although dont know models for all:

Phoenix Gold RSD10D (recently bought the RSD 5.25 comps)

JL Audio

JBL

AA

Elemental Designs

MB Quart

Dayton

Any suggestions or recommendations are definitely needed.

Thanks!

Thats quite a box. Do the RSD's do better sealed or ported?

Look at the MB Quart RWE254s on http://www.woofersetc.com

they're cheap and sound awesome

edit: they only have the dual 2 ohm subs... so get a 2 ohm stable amp //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I'm also in the market for some nice 10s (SQ / SQL is what Im aiming for). Here are some of the the reviews I found from my researching:

Phoenix Gold RSD10D - Nice price, hits low, clean and efficient, seems to match the IDMAX

JL 10w6v2 - Superior SQ, but doesnt get as low as other subs, less output

JL 10w7 - Gets low and loud with great SQ but at a great price

JBL w10GTi - Gets nice and low, fairly efficient, performs nice overall.

Dayton Reference 10" HO - Excellent build quality, bang for the buck sub, good for smaller enclosures

Peerless 10 XXLS - Seems to be the rave on diyma. Sub I will be getting =D

I do not have an amp yet. A friend of mine at work is telling me I will need an amp for the subs, and an amp for the front stage. Also, I am not dead set on 10's, just thought they would save me space. What are the advantages of 1 12" compared to 2 10's?

My friend is also telling me that since I listen to rock I could get away with some Kickers. There are too many frickin options.
