Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 7796 Registered: Jul-06 | 1 Icon 1 Elite 2 Classics 1 ID MAX 1 Sundown Nightshade 1 Epic 1 Mag 1 IA DP What I've got it narrowed down to. Gonna run 1k to whatever one I get (Epic would get 600-800). Will go in a low tuned box about 30hz roughly. Not too worried about buying used. Pro's/Con's of any of these subs. Which should I not consider? Which would you get? I hate making decisions.... |

Silver Member Username: QcsfinestCharlotte, North Carolina Post Number: 528 Registered: Jun-05 | In the same postion Yanks, workin with a sae-1000d. Mag is takin to long to come out, epic looks nice, ID max is kinda pricey, and the best price seems to be the Icon but I dont know how good they are. |

Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 7801 Registered: Jul-06 | Sorry but no W7....too expensive, too many people got it, not original. |

Gold Member Username: JtownTeam Revolution, Texas Post Number: 1587 Registered: Mar-07 | there are many pleased customers with the pair o' classics Personally I would go for the new Elite, I'm assuming that's the one you listed. 15" or 12" btw, would you still be interested in that rd1000.1? |

Gold Member Username: The_image_dynamicSan Diego Post Number: 3309 Registered: Dec-06 | IDMAX hands down |
|
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 5662 Registered: Feb-06 | x2 on the idmax. and if you want the epic, get it now. doesn't look to good for tc from what's being posted around. |
|
Gold Member Username: JkidderGunshine , State Flawda Post Number: 2992 Registered: Nov-05 | dp or icon have my vote. i'd pic the icon for what you like though. would it be 15" for all those single sub options? |
|
Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 7803 Registered: Jul-06 | I knew Brad would say ID MAX lol. Thieves, I am still interested. Not set on that amp but it certainly is a possibility. CT, what is going on with tc right now? I havent been on in a week so I missed everything. |

Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 7804 Registered: Jul-06 | JK, it would most likely be 15" for whatever I choose. |
|
Gold Member Username: Bnd_rulezPhoenix, AZ USA Post Number: 1067 Registered: Mar-05 | The only sub you listed that I have ever even heard was the IDMAX and it was a beautiful sounding sub. |
|
Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 7805 Registered: Jul-06 | Just read about TC/AP over on CA. Interesting. |
|
Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 7806 Registered: Jul-06 | Thanks for the input guys. Does anyone know when the new MAG is supposed to be out? I've read about it on SSA but it didn't have a date or time frame that I saw. |
|
Silver Member Username: TreezPost Number: 125 Registered: Aug-06 | ID MAX or Mag |

Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 7815 Registered: Jul-06 | Didn't even consider one of those Mike. I got a shop near me who sells those I believe. I'll stop in and hear one. I've heard some good things about them. |

Platinum Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 posts!! Post Number: 12293 Registered: Jun-06 | The mag is a beauty and a beast all in one. I can't describe her any other way. Chad, when I owned her, I loved her. Why did I give her up? Curiosity. I wanted to hear an 18". If SI made an 18" I would buy more than one, ok many lol. I'm a man. What do you expect lol? |

Gold Member Username: Denali_on_22sYou can call me Scroog... Post Number: 3479 Registered: Feb-06 | i hadn't even seen that nightshade... pretty nasty looking sub... with an Fs over 40 though, i'm not sure SQL (although it's supposed to be) would be it's strong points. i would go with the JBL or IDMax from what i've actually heard, but the new mag would be sweet... wish it would come out soon, but i don't think it will. SI is waiting until they can beat the old mags output and SQ |
|
Platinum Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 posts!! Post Number: 12294 Registered: Jun-06 | Fug, SI is taking their time lol....... Their mag drivers sold well and held their values quite well. I still want mine back lol.  |
|
Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 7817 Registered: Jul-06 | I really want to wait for the new Mag, just wish I had a time table for it. I'd also be hoping for a group buy price on it or a pre-sale price on it. |
|
Platinum Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 13498 Registered: Jul-05 | just buy something and sale it when the new mags come out...but im with the IDMAX Idea |
|
Gold Member Username: 420alldaylongPost Number: 3148 Registered: Sep-06 | The new Mag's will be 12" only and have dual 2 Ohm coils with 1000 watt power handling. |

Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 7818 Registered: Jul-06 | Yea I just read that Joey. Says everything but price and release date  Might wait it out. |

|
Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 7819 Registered: Jul-06 | Meh, I can live with 12". I think I've decided to get the new Mag. I've always wanted one since I got into car audio. Since this one is supposed to exceed the other Mag in all areas, sounds perfect |
|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindIM THE REAL SLIM SHADY Post Number: 16706 Registered: Oct-05 | yanks just save up a bit more and get the dd9115. i doubt your dad will get mad at your for spending $1000 on a sub. |

Silver Member Username: DenimWww.TeamSSAudio.com, MD Post Number: 553 Registered: Nov-06 | Yanks, I think some of the divers listed are a little away from what you want. I am biased towards one because it is my company, but if your goal is a sound quality that has the ability to have strong output in a daily driver, then the IDMAX, MAG, and ICON are the ones that are designed for that purpose. I have not tested the DP or the Nightshade, but they are more focused on output first and very high power handling. Sure I could sit here and say just get the ICON, but honestly the MAG, the IDMAX and even the Fi Q are top notch SQ drivers too. |
|
Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 7884 Registered: Jul-06 | Thanks for that Denim. Must say, I like and respect the fact that you didn't come on here and say just get the Icon. |

Silver Member Username: Alpine97Paramount, California USA Post Number: 162 Registered: Jan-08 | This is a dumb question...but I have never heard of tuneing a box...I know how to tune the amp and HU...but what r u guys talkin about?? |
|
Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 7892 Registered: Jul-06 | Nick S, in a ported box, you tune the box to a certain frequency. Most daily boxes are between 30-40hz while "burp" boxes used for competitions will be higher. A box tuned to 30hz will play lower than a box tuned to 40hz. People who use ported boxes and are looking for a more sq set-up will tune aroud 30-35hz. The tuning of the box is made by the length of the port in the box. Sub companies will give you a certain frequency or even sometimes a range you should tune in. |
|
Platinum Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 posts!! Post Number: 12411 Registered: Jun-06 | It's a combination of box size, port length/width, internal volume (sub displacement included), and any damping factors(if used). Like Yanks said it's all about what you want out of the system. To me a sealed system is more SQ oriented. Tighter bass. Ported, or (vented) for more efficient bass. It's all about the airflow with ported. Not saying a sealed box won't get low. JMO. |

Silver Member Username: Alpine97Paramount, California USA Post Number: 164 Registered: Jan-08 | Gotcha...thanks |

Silver Member Username: Alpine97Paramount, California USA Post Number: 165 Registered: Jan-08 | Ok well I have it narrowed down. I am going to run the Hifonics 1600 watt brutis amp on two of the following (ported) 12" 2 type R's 2 Kappas ( what I have now) 2 kicker CVX 2 eclipse 7200 or 1 RE SX What would be the loudest and what would be the best SQL??? I really want it loud |
