Tell us more about what you want your syetm to do! music wise, What vehicle? what box sizing?
6-10's will probably need different box then 1-18". I like 18's if your listening to bassss music! Sounds like a ncie setup though!

Get us some pics!

10''s will look cooler, but a lot of people who have never seen a 18'' sub tend to be shocked to know such things exist and they know someone with one

Almost double the cone area with 6 10's. Check the efficiency, it might not matter.

Six DVC 4 ohm subs wires into either 1.3 or 0.33 ohms. Your amp does 800W x 1CH @ 4 ohms or 400W x 2CH in 2 ohms. You can't use 6 DVC 4's with that amp because it isn't stable below 2 ohms. A DVC 2 ohm sub wires into 1 or 4 ohms so it would be a good match for 800W @ 4 ohms. If you want to use six 10's with daily-driver power, consider six SSA DCON 10's (SVC 4 ohm) @ 0.67 ohms / 1800W RMS.

"The Tekton drivers are made in Italy and no longer available in the US. The cost was high at about $1000 a driver!"
