Mga bossing anu magandang brand and model ng 10" na sub na di lalagpas ng 5k?
Nasunog ko kasi yung DD 510 LE ko e.
I'll still use my enclosure, sayang naman kasi.

If you're going to be keeping the box, people can't simply "recommend" subwoofers because different subwoofers behave differently depending on the box. This is why I often tell people who are constructing their car audio setup to first know their needs THEN choose a subwoofer. Because you need to choose which and what are your box specifications FIRST.. THEN you choose a subwoofer driver suitable for your preferred enclosure.

A subwoofer's performance is directly correlated with its box. Put a great speaker in a non-optimal box and it'll sound horrible. That's why we have Thiele-Small parameters for speaker drivers and box calculators.

For example, there are subwoofers that are designed for sealed applications while some are ported. Sealed boxes are way easier.. as you'll be paying attention to T/S parameter Qtc of the box and the driver. On the otherhand, ported applications are a pain as different drivers require longer, shorter, "fatter", or maybe "thinner" ports and all. This affects the T/S parameter of Fc or what we usually call as the "tuned frequency"
