I have assembled a couple of the Vance Dickenson designed 10" subs from Parts Express for friends and they are well worth the $$. The 250W (180W into 8 ohms) mentioned above is the same amp used in the kit. I use this amp in my own subs that use a Rockford 12" driver.

If you go to the web page showing the kits, you can download a spec sheet that will help you design the box and order all the needed parts. With a box of this type you need to properly reinforce the cabinet if you decide to build it yourself.

Parts Express also sells a Dayton powered 10" sub for $100. While not of the same quality as the Titanic 10" and 12" subs, a pair of these for $200 will have decent output in a medium sized room.
