Well from recent checking think you will find that rules out most of the big boys!
Check out Infinity again or JBL
I think a Sony one is about £50 and say an Alpine 60/70 quid.
You'll have to scan through say Caraudiodirect and see what there is.

Cant see any difference other than numbers between those Alpines and mounting depth is fine!

However that Vibe is 150mm deep so no good if you only have 120mm!

Difference between Alpines is coil config.

1023d is dual 2ohm. Wired to either 1 or 4 ohms.
1043d is dual 4ohm. Wired to either 2 or 8 ohms.

You'll want to match the coil config to that of your amp.

Thinking of changing my amp and sub, what should I go for B-chi?
Dont want top range.
Must be a 4 channel amp and 10 inch sub and think my max depth is 140mm.

Yea Infinities in the rear but they off the HU.
Front door speakers are those SPL bass units.

Budget, well nothing silly, so a few hundred pounds say.

Diamond d1104.2 ex demo from cas looks to be good value. Should produce a nice background rumble.

Is it going in a sealed or ported enc?

Paired up to a jbl 1004e amp. 100w ea side to mids and 200w to the sub.

£75 for sub and £120 for amp.

That's the route I'd go for. Or look out for second hand.

Its in a ported enclosure.

Having trouble locating that sub! Seems to be discontinued.
