What size is you'r Paradigm ? whats the model ? Is that sub loud enough for you or you want more now ?
samsagaz
Paradigm PDR-10 is the model

- Single driver, bass reflex, high-velocity low-turbulence resistive port, built-in amplifier
- 120 watts RMS / 360 watts Peak
- 254-mm (10 in) carbon-fiber-reinforced composite cone, 38-mm (1-1/2 in) voice coil
- 27 Hz (DIN)*
- Cutoff Variable 50 Hz – 150 Hz
- weight 12.5 kg / 28 lb each

these are the specs of the subwoofer that i have right now.

I want to sell it and build another with more power and maybe that go a little low (20hz).

I know all the paradigm Sub's. I'm a paradigm speaker fan.

Well you need to tell us if you need more bass or are you just looking to build something. Ie starting off with a sub.
samsagaz
well i want to improve the quality of my sub, thats all, i want to go more deep, i think that the paradigm dont down to 20hz.

and more power will be great too :)

If you are looking for small enclosure size, look at the PEERLESS XLS or XXLS line:

ANother option would be an Ascendant audio driver, which would probalby cost less than a PEERLESS driver, not sure about shipping to SA:

In either case you will need adaquet amplification and be able to build the enclosure.

For amplification i want to use some ClassD Kit
