Anyone that has a 10" in the trunk of their Impreza or STi let me know what enclosure you went with and what it sounds like in the cabin. -thanks

 

That's all going to depend on what sub you use. Some subs work better with sealed boxes, some sound better with ported boxes. First find a good speaker, then decide how what kind of box. I recomend Boston Acoustic. I have one 12 and it hits hard, but really clear. I usually find myself turning it down because it hits too hard. A Boston 10 would be a great speaker. There is some rattling from the trunk that dynamat will fix. Good luck

 

i was too lazy and found a polk MOMO 12" sub with a prebuilt enclosure with a see-through plexi panel at a local FRY for $100...

 

i got a jl 10w6v2 and its awesome. i have a sealed box. i think sealed is more clear then ported, but ported is louder. depends what you want.

 

I love my diamond sub. my .02 It's in a sealed enclosure and provides enough sound to drown out my front speakers easily if I adjust the sub up all the way

 

It is boxed with no hole. Good balance of bass, but it also depends what system you are running to it. It was a good install because you can remove it when you need that extra trunk space.
I have Pioneer Super tunerIII Premier w/Premier Amp. it is awesome I am removing it and installing it in my new Sti. Trying to sell my 02 WRX at this time.
Here are some pics hope they work.

 

I've got 3 Arc Audio 10D4's in a sealed enclosure. 1000W from an Alpine amp and it hits hard...very clean, not boomy.

A good buddy of mine did the design and fabrication. He's got lots of details posted...

I have w Kicker CompVR's in the Kicker box and it sounds really nice in the trunk. The only problem I am having is trunk space since the box wont clear the rear strut bar. I am going to get a special box built, but for the price you cant go wrong with the CompVR's.

+1 for boston acoustic, but they are pretty pricey. I guess you get what you pay for.

 

Alpine Type R subwoofers.

 

question for ya. . . is your diamond sub a 10" or 12"? do you have a sedan or wagon? i've got 2 12" M3s in my wagon now and i think it's a bit much, not to mention i have NO trunk space. looking to get an enclosure to fit above the spare. the sub i'd like to get is a 12" M6 or D6.

 

Well I have 2 10 inch diamond tdx's and they sound great, and I still have plenty of room, I have them sealed in a fiberglass box.

 

10w3v2, jsut one with 500 watts goin to it, sounds great, takes up little space. In a ported Q Logic box
