Used Orion 10" SUB P10D2 1000 Watt | eBay

How much power do you have?

 

[smidge710]

i have a Rockford Fosgate Punch P325.1 Amplifier powering the sub currently

Probably either of these will be fine:

Incriminator Audio 12 I Series 300RMS 12" Subwoofer - SSA STORE

DCON 12 Sound Solutions Audio 12" 400W DCON Series Subwoofer - SSA STORE

When selecting, be sure to choose the dual 4 ohm option.

does the type of music i regularly listen to have anything to do with the sub i choose?

do you have a picture? a puncture can almost always be fixed, unless it needs to look perfect. Or are you trying to take advantage of the situation and get a newer sub because you can?

Amazing goop, Works like a charm, sub will work like new. STILL get that new sub from the detailer since it is still their fault and they own up to it.

If you are a nice guy, you can just have them pay for the amazing goop used for the repair.

Box will be the bigger factor. If you liked the way it sounded before, you'll be happy with the way it'll sound with the new sub.

The sd is a shallow sub

If you're looking for some good quality sound on not much power I would definitely take a look at the dcon. From what I can tell, sundown doesn't offer a 12" SD. The SA-12 is a solid sub but your amp won't do it much justice. Those SA's can handle a good clean 1k to really hit their full potential.

If they will pay for it go for the sa

Dcon is by far a better option for that amp
