does anyone by chance know the recommended sealed enclosure size for an Arc Audio FD 10 subwoofer? I just built a 1 cuft sealed box for an Arc kar 10 with a 9 1/4 cutout diameter, but arc doesn't have any of the Kar series subs at the moment. They said i could have the FD 10 for a price that fit my budget. If the FD 10 can work with the box then I will order that. So, does anyone know if the FD 10 would work with that box?

It will work fine. The KAR subs and the FD subs are basically the same thing.

ok thanks, thats the answer i was looking for.
The KAR subs and the FD subs are basically the same thing.
same sounding? or same build?
would the FD sound any better than the Kar?

I haven't tested it yet, but it looks like the FD subs are thesame exact build as the KAR subs, with just a different cover on the magnet. What kind of a deal are they giving you?

Wow ,what a great company. You have a dealer within 15 miles of you, yet they are still selling direct.

i do? are you talking about xdc or another place, because i called xdc yesterday and they said they don't sell arc anymore. In fact, they said they're veering away from selling any audio stuff.

My bad, didn't know they had stopped selling ARC since I left.

So would $145 be a good price??
The only difference that i can see is that the FD has an aluminum VC vs a kapton VC and 250 rms for the FD vs 200 rms for the Kar. Not many specs are on the arc site about the FD.... Justin, do you have the specs on the FD's??
