Would depend on the sub?

you could get a rough idea of someone else with a 10" sub but you really should only use the measurements for the sub you are installing because there will be differences of a fair few millimetres in the design of each different subs frame etc.

hope this helps

y don't you get the sub, turn it upside down on a piece of paper/cardboard/or what u r mounting them in. then mark dots where the screw holes are and cut a circle out inbetween the screw holes, if you get what i mean.
as for brands, VDO 10's sounds awesome. so do JL, Kicker and Cadence. all the usual brands really. I also heard some Alpine Type S dual voice coils subs (2 of them) and they were shaking the shop, it was unbelieveable for 2 tens. it was running off a $800 amp or something though.

i dont have the 10's yet thats why.

i would never touch VDO or JL.

im deciding between
2 MTX 8000's ($400 each)
2 ALPINE S's ($230 each)
2 DD's ($800 each)

not sure on what ones to get... most probably the MTX's

just out of interest why wouldn't you touch JL or VDO?
have u had any experience with cadence or kicker? they sound pretty damn nice too. im thinking about getting some coustic subs, they're on sale at JB at the moment, anyone had any experience?

why not go tornados genes????

y not go buy yourself a 10inch tornado and then u can use that for your design or what ever the fuck u wanted to know the size for. i twill only cost ya $10-15

Gene FJ20DET

or assk someone and its free Razz

wouldnt touch VDO cos its shit. wouldnt use anything made in aisia (car sound wise)
i heard a brand new JB on display over a MTX half the price, and the jl was piss poor.

acustic is pritty good, 2 of my mates run them , but lack in the visuall effect department ;P
