Best entry-level subwoofer
At home theater forums, pretty much any time that someone asks about a
good budget subwoofer, the Dayton 10" powered subwoofer from Parts Express ( http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/pshow...number=300-632 ) is immediately suggested. This subwoofer is consistently praised for sounding much better than its price would indicate. I have one myself and it's great. I'm looking for a car audio equivalent. My Kenwood KAC-8401 is currently using 2 channels to power the front speakers and I would like to bridge the other 2 channels for 1 180-watt RMS channel (according to Kenwood specs) to power a subwoofer. What subwoofer and what kind of box should I get? I don't want loud and boomy. Tightness is very important to me. Thanks for your help! |

I've nothing heard good things about Dayton's mobile line of subs as well.
Stick with a small, sealed box...whatever size Partsexpress recommends.

I'm very happy with my JL 8W7. I built a sealed enclosure from MDF,
sized according to JL recommendations. Lots of tight bass with a (relatively) small footprint. |

They sound very good, tune easily in reasonably sized enclosures, and handle a bunch of abuse... we have people using these for SPL competition getting up into the mid-160's without driver damage, not bad for a sub that sells for $49-$59 retail. They're 4 ohm drivers which should match your amp's load rating perfectly.
