I have a 10 inch audiobahn tube and the sub is on the way out can anyone recommend a good 10 inch sub for the tube......

tube? omg.. get rid of that. Get a box, you can build your own for less than 35 dollars, or buy a standard third-gen box for around 120-170 dollars.
if you want to go with 10's, for a low price, Pioneer puts out a nice little 10" 400 watt sub. i believe they range between 50-80 dollars each. they hit very nicely for 10's.

I use my hatch to put stuff in it.Id like to make a stealth box that goes into the wheel well........

actually, a tube is not bad as long as it is the right size enclosure for the sub. an enclosure's an enclosure, no matter what the shape. it just depends on the materials its made of

The shape of the enclosure is completely irrelivant to the sound quality. All that matters is the volume, and port size if it's a ported enclosure. Like mentioned above, you just want to make sure that you buy a sub that is designed to work well in that particular enclosure size.

To figure out the volume, remember that Pi * R^2 will give you the area, then just multiply it by the depth to get your volume. If it's a ported enclosure things can get more complicated and if that's the case I'd probably suggest just bringing the tube to a local shop and having them try a few subs in it to see what you like best.

Anyway, I'm kind of a big fan of 10" tubes. They're quick & easy, and they fit perfectly down in the well of our cars. Because of the shape, even ones with somewhat cheap materials (i.e. all of them) still sound good and don't resonate much.

i'll stick to my box

-fly

Nobody suggested otherwise.

i think someone just wanted to make it sound like their way is better. dont worry jim, as long as we know we're right.......

I installed a Bazooka EL tube in my bird the other day. I recently installed my component system and needed something for a little bit of bass..... my brother had this and a JBL 190W amp sittin in his room from years ago. Hooked it up, and I am quite surprised in how it sounds. Its nothing compared to quality sealed dual 12's, but for it being free, you can't beat it

Yeah its a ported audiobahn tube Im not to good on figuring out how much space it has.I went on the audiobahn site and here are dimensionns:11.25 w 18.5 d. I dont know if that helps maybe someone could figure it out......

8th grade math dude

area = Pi*r^2
Pi = 3.14
r = 1/2 the diameter, so r = 5.625.

area = 3.14*5.625^2
area = 3.14*31.64
area = 99.35 square inches.
To get volume, you multiply by the length.
volume = 99.35*18.5= 1838 cubic inches.

Since you need cubic feet, divide by 1728 (that's 12^3)
1838/1728= 1.06 cubic feet. Take basket & magnet area into account and round down to 1 cubic foot.

Since your box is ported, it's more or less a crap shoot anyway though. I'd probably seal the port, because you don't even want to see the port equations.

Sorry,Havent used that kind of math in 14 years.Sometimes we forget.But thank you

That's why I gave you the equations before

But either way... you're all set now. You should have the info you need.
