    Amp and sub to match CDT CL-62s in front?

    Hi all. I've settled on CDT CL-62 components for the front. I am now looking for a sub and an amp to match, and getting info overload. I want to be able to drive everything off of one four channel amp (for space reasons), and am planning on one either 10 or 12" sub in a custom sealed box (along with my pc stuff). This is a mazda 3 hatchback. Any advice? I have been looking at:

    Subs:

    RE Audio SE-10/12
    Soundsplinter RL-p10/12
    Diamond Audio D6 10/12
    Image Dynamics IDQ10/12

    Amps:

    JL, Soundstream, Audison SRX, or eD nine.4 on the cheap side

    Thanks for any advice, too many options...

    Looks like you already have a good idea of what youre doing!

    All of the subs are very nice and would all work well. From memory, I think the Image Dynamics is a bit more sensitive than the others, but dont quote me. I like the RE SE series, very well built... same with the soundsplinter.

    As for amps, again all will work well. So front stage on chan 1 and 2 and bridge 3/4 for the sub? Of the amps, most bridge to form ~150w rms... i dont know your taste in bass, but that may be a little low for the subs you listed. Have you looked at a PDX4.150 or JL 450/4v2? Those will give you 300w bridged and ample power for your front stage.

    You might also look at the Fi Q series of subs. The guy actually worked for RE, but parted ways after a difference in interests and is now making subs at Fi. I usually prefer the Fi subs over RE and ID. Never heard those specific Diamond or Soundsplinter subs though.

    I would also consider JL Audio HD line the JL 600/4 HD would defintely give you the power you need but with absolute clarity
