    Need help with subwoofer choices

    Due to OCD, I now have 3 matching amps, but the problem is that none of my subs will work with this configuration. So, I’m looking for (2) 10” subs, either S4 or D2. I have boxes that are .6 cu ft, and available power is 2x600 rms. So far, I have these on my list:

    SEAS L26ROY
    Dayton Ultimax
    CSS
    Morel

    Any others I should be looking at that will fit in my parameters? Also, I listen pretty loud, so whatever I choose will not be babied, and will have to keep up with Focal KRX midbass 2 ohm with 300 watts, Focal KRX 3” mids, Scanspeak 3004/6020 tweets, and Focal KRX coax rears, all with 200 watts available to them. Thanks for any help and suggestions!

    How about an Audiomobile EVO?

    Edit: They may not make a single 4 ohm....

    CSS SDX12's, I've got 2 that I love. Although you may want more power in the future.

    Adire may be on the radar also, and the Dayton HF... although power handling isn’t the best with Dayton... don’t ask... I will rebuild both my RSS390HF in time to be new beasts! 😊

    The Frog GB10’s fit your parameters perfectly, and with their high sensitivity they should be able to keep up with the rest of the system.

    They do make an S4 version. I am selling a pair of D4's. OP, why can't your amp work with a pair of D4's?

    The Helix SPXL1000 puts out 750 watts at 4ohm, which would be the perfect amp for a pair of D4 subs.

    I am running the Helix in my Camaro, and it kicks ass on my (2) GB12’s, but this system will be in my truck. I have (3) Mapletech REF 4.200’s. 2 of them will be running the 3-way front plus rear doors, leaving 1 amp that does 2 x 600 bridged at 4 ohm. I have 2 pairs of D4’s subs (Eclipse 10’s and Sundown SD-3 8’s), which doesn’t help me.

    As much as it bothers my OCD running 2 different amps in my Camaro (for which I now have 3 Mosconi AS amps to install, I know I’d freak the hell out having 2 vehicles with mismatched amps.
