two 10" pheonix gold x max's, carbon fiber cones...are these good subs....how much power do they need and what type of enclosure..i listen to a lot of rap..thanks mike

 

This is actually what I am gonna put in car. I am gonna put three of them in the rear deck. They are excellent subs. They are clean, loud and very solid. They will last forever, 15 layers of carbon fiber what do you expect. I do not remember what the power handling on them is but I know that they will take alot more than they are rated at. I installed 2 12's in the back of a cherokee w/ a dei 1100d to each with the gains cranked up and they took the punishment like a champ. The best enclosure for them would have to be a sealed, I am not sure about the specs for box size though. I am sure that you could get those off of their website.

 

i haven't seen too many PG sub setup's before. but i am a fan of the amps.

 

specs for the xmax's is about 1 cubic foot. and the best box for them is a sealed one. the xmax's do not perform well in ported enclosures. not to try and sound like a salesmen, but i have a bunch of them for sale.. i have 4 10"'s in a sealed box for sale $450 takes it, and i have 2 10's that were never used $100 for the pair. you may want to rethink about putting them in your rear deck. i was thinkering with the idea but was talked out of it by quite a few people. dont jump down my throat, but im not gonna go that way anymore. anyway, i belive the power rating on the 10's is 350watts. i had all four running of a fosgate 1100a2, and the installed kept telling me to use my other 1100a2 with it. thats woulda been at least 500 watts to each one. you can literly beat the hell out of these speakers and they will withstand it.no joke you could drop a pair of plyers on the cones and have no results. one of my frieds tried to blow one of his by plugging it into a wall socket and it didnt even blow.. lol.. ive had 4 of em in my car for a while and can tell you it pounded. it looks like someone is locked in the trunk and trying to kick their way out.
