Bronze Member Username: 225H-Town, PA USA Post Number: 48 Registered: Nov-05 | I'm in the process of redoing my whole sytem to be more SQ oriented. I will be going from two alpine type Rs to two 10s. I like the sound of the R's but i dont need that much power or loudness. I also listen mainly to rock. I will be powering the new subs with a DEI 1100d that puts out i think 400 or 500 at 4 ohms, 800rms at 2 ohms, and 1100rms at 1 ohm. So my choices for the sq subs are: (2) JL 10w3v2 (2) IDQ 10D4 v2 (2) ID10v3 d4 (1) IDMAX10-D2 (2) Infinity Kappa 10.1 (1) Diamond Audio d6 (all of these are in my price range between 200-350) I want super tight subs that can keep up with double bass and that sound clean. I dont need them to be super loud or be able to hit really low. Just clean tight sound. So what would be your choice and why? |

The sound quality will be excellent, and plenty loud in sealed or ported box. Its rated 750 rms, but will take that whole amp. http://www.treoonline.com/ssi.html |

Bronze Member Username: 225H-Town, PA USA Post Number: 49 Registered: Nov-05 | maybe i shouldnt have put the idmax in there, because i really dont think that i need that much power, like i said i have two R's right now and they are too overpowering so i am looking at around 600 rms maybe 700 tops. |

Silver Member Username: JakeyplaysbassSt. Louis, MO Post Number: 510 Registered: Jul-05 | Why dont you just lower the bass on the type Rs? You could buy a new EQ and save some money. |

Bronze Member Username: Demon_prideCrowder, Oklahoma USA Post Number: 44 Registered: Oct-05 | Or... You could get some RE SE subs. Great sounding. You could get a single XXX if with the same amp and hit loud and have AMAZING SQ. |

Gold Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 4789 Registered: Jul-05 | IDMAX's will sound good with 500 watts. Also have u looked into JL Audio w6v2, those things have amazing sq and do not require alot of power |
|
Gold Member Username: Jonathan_fGA USA Post Number: 5539 Registered: May-04 | IDQ out of that list. Better SQ than the Max, just doesn't get as loud. W6v2 is also excellent. From your description, I think you'd really like the SEAS Lotus subs, too. |

Bronze Member Username: AlteraudiousaConcord Post Number: 58 Registered: Jan-06 | Stereo Integrity Mag 12 would be my choice but you'll need 700-900rms on it and your amp has to handle a 1 or a 4ohm load and give it 700-900rms. Seas is good. I'd still get the Dayton MKIII or Reference HO sub, i think you can get two MKIII for 300$ pair and the Reference HO for about 250$ for pair. Those will sound quite nice and give good amount of output. Also if you like a easy blending sub with a good high end extension, the ED Ov.2 or SS RL-p will do well. But first vote , SI Mag 12 D2 then Dayton MKIII Titanic 12's. |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 4434 Registered: Jun-04 | 350 to 400 rms b I cant find the specs for sure but I know its one of those two. It's a dual 4 ohm 12 id 12 v2. |

Silver Member Username: Kwrubel21Shelby Township, MI United States Post Number: 207 Registered: Dec-05 | is RE still offering the old XXX for around 350? |
|
Bronze Member Username: 225H-Town, PA USA Post Number: 50 Registered: Nov-05 | another question. To have a balanced soundstage where my front speakers will blend perfectly with the sub what rms rating should the sub be if my front speakers are 75 rms? |
|
Silver Member Username: ScubasteveCollege Park, MD Post Number: 909 Registered: May-05 | that depends on a ton of factors including drivers, speaker placement, type of enclosure, your ride, and plenty more stuff too. Thats why they make EQs. |

Bronze Member Username: 225H-Town, PA USA Post Number: 51 Registered: Nov-05 | okay well how about this...if i have my speakers playing at maximun volume, would a 300 watt rms sealed subwoofer be loud enough to mix with my speakers? |
