OK, I don't mean to beat the old dead horse here. I know this thread has probably been created a bunch of times, I've read most of them.

The application - corner loaded enclosures, 7" depth, 7" magnet diameter, 11" cutout, 12.5" O.D MAX

Amp - Hopefully I only need10 total watts from a zuki eleets (I could use my DLS A6 or a zuki small mono eventually)

Goals - I want accurate bass reproduction that will integrate well with my Midbasses. I do like it loud sometimes. I currently have 2 eD 13Ov.2's. I'm probably going to get 2 subs, but if there is 1 sub that do the job better than 2 of the others I'd consider it...

If there is a sub that would only fit mounted inverted, I'd consider only if it'd be that much better than the others...

Current Contenders, all should fit, and all have a voice coil config that will work for me:

Zuki 12" subs

Diyma R12

Fi Q 12"

Stereo Integrity Mag V4 12"

SSA DCON or ICON 12"

Dayton

I'm also open to other suggestions.. Let me know your opinions on these!

Your A6 matched with the diamond D9 im selling sounds like a perfect match

I would have to agree, the diamond is among the quietest during full excursion of any sub I have ever heard. I am talking mechanical noise not how loud the sub is, those subs are way to overlooked

 

[falkenbd]

looks to be too deep.

ya 7.5" MD, if you could squeeze the extra 1/2" I would put this in the list near the top

 

[falkenbd]

i could depending on motor diameter. i'd almost have to make a cardboard cutout of the sub sideline and use it in the box to see if it'd fit.

i also need 2 !

I dont know about that. A D9 can get plenty loud if wanted.

 

[falkenbd]

anyone else have anything to say?

do any of the subs besides the zuki do well without a ton of power?

 

[Aaron Clinton]

I am biased of course, but with that said, the SSA Dcon's do quite well with minimal power.

 

[fredridge]

it is not the size you need, but if you are willing to pay shipping to and from, you can borrow my Zuki 10 to try it out.

A DIYMA won't fit in that space, the magnet is over 9" in diameter. I'd look at a Mag though.

 

[falkenbd]

I kind of thought I'd mount the DIYMA's inverted if they didn't fit. They are probably the only sub out of the group that I'd do that for.

 

[quality_sound]

You'd have to, but they are MAD sexy like that. Look up boostedrex's build thread for inverted DIYMA goodness.

 

[Boostedrex]

Yes, a DIYMA mounted ass out is a thing of beauty.

That being said, I have personally run both the DIYMA and the Mag off the back half of an ELEETS 4 channel. That amp can drive either one of those subs beautifully. What are your plans for 2 subs though? Were you expecting to run both of them off the back half of your ELEETS or are you going to use the DLS A6? I do know that both subs do just fine off of 300 watts each. IMHO, if you want to do a standard mount go with the Mag. If you want to invert mount your subs then use the DIYMA. Either way you'll have great sounding subs in your car. And while I can't speak for dual Mags in a car (though I'd be scared to think of how much output that would be) I can say that dual DIYMA's in a car can get silly loud.

I installed the first zuki today, and I'm positive that my subs will be run off of 2 channels of a zuki.

So I'm still torn. The DIYMA's might be out, I have to figure out if they'll even fit without inverting them, that would help my decision.

I need like a side view w/ dimensions so I can make a cardboard cutout and see what it looks like in the box.

I can tell you that the DIYMA has a MASSIVE motor on it. Yes the sub is only like 6.5"-7" deep IIRC, but that magnet is just over 9" in diameter. It's HUGE!! If you need a "small" framed sub that sounds just as good as the DIYMA then look at the Mag. Have I steered you wrong yet? LOL!!
