if it is just a w0 what would be good for a box for this? i have a ported one that came with out that someone i think just made

Yep, it's an older W0. Give me a little and I'll dig up the specs for you. I wouldn't put it in a ported box that it's not built for...:thumbsdow

ok perfect, is this a decent sub or should i upgrade for the near future?

This W0 is only rated at 125W rms. Much more than 250 will kill it. The 10's were usually run as a treo with good sound output for their price. I owned 3-10's about 10 years back. Unfortunately I think the low power handling and JL's recommendation of sealed enclosure would not satisfy your thirst for bass. I'd choose upgrade unless your not looking for big bass. This will bump, but that's about it .... :dunno:

True enough....for an entry level sub they did a nice job....I built this box for my wife's Aerostar a few years ago......3 of them ported to 35hz running off a Kicker DX700 hit pretty good in the family grocery-getter.....:smilie_da

The part that got me was the fact that the sealed and ported enclosure sizes were the same.....:dunno: 1cuft either way and you've got bass....:D

I saw quite a few people use 2 of the 10" or 12"W0-8s for a 4ohm load back in the day.....if you were running a 4 channel amp with 2 channels for your front speakers and deck power on the rears, the 2 rear channels bridged for the W0s usually seemed to work out to a fairly balanced system....maybe not the loudest around but decent ouput and SQ......:smokin:

HTH

That was a nice install (your 3-10's). :worshippy The prob with people only running one is they usually try to get more than the poor W0 will give, but give it will .... it'll die making him happy! :appl:
