MB Quart Subs?
|
WhatDoYouThink Unregistered guest | Does anybody now anything about the MB Quart subs? I cant figure out the RMS power on them, im looking at the Premium or Reference Series subs. 12's with dual 2 ohm coils. Are they loud at all? I'm used to two 12 type-r, will these be better? Will I be underpowering the MB Quarts with 1000 watts split between two? Somebody please enlighten me. |

|
WhatDoYouThink Unregistered guest | i didnt think about the diamond d3. anybody have any opinion on how that would compare with type-r's? i hear the idq isnt that loud, which is kinda what i wanted. anybody else got more? |

Bronze Member Username: Keith78Post Number: 16 Registered: Oct-05 | im pretty sure that the diamond weighs 22 pounds and the type r weigh 15 but not totally sure but if thats sure thats substantial if you look at the cone and magnet of the diamond its pretty impressive |

Bronze Member Username: Keith78Post Number: 17 Registered: Oct-05 | have you ever heard d3s, mud i think 1000 watts would be to much for shivas but maybe not idq. do you think the d3s will get pretty loud |

Bronze Member Username: Keith78Post Number: 18 Registered: Oct-05 | muddy bc i cant decide what would be better on 900 to 1000watts the idq or d3 or perfects |

Gold Member Username: Basshead86Ocala, FL USA Post Number: 2224 Registered: Aug-05 | i would personally go with the IDQ's. i have heard the ID's, they were 10's and they wasn't much power used, and they sound loud and accurate. |

Bronze Member Username: Keith78Post Number: 19 Registered: Oct-05 | you heard or read any thing on d3s |
|
Gold Member Username: Basshead86Ocala, FL USA Post Number: 2225 Registered: Aug-05 | the power handling on the IDQ's is only 350wRMS on the 12's. the website says 500, but in the PDF files located on the tech page, they are listed at 350wRMS. i think 1000wRMS would be too much for 2 IDQ's, b.c they are very efficient, and don't require even their full power handling to get loud. |

Bronze Member Username: Keith78Post Number: 20 Registered: Oct-05 | awesome info thats the type of sh*t im trying to find out ithink the idq would be more suited for like 750 or 800 at most ,you think d3 would handle 900watts that probably be right on the money |

Bronze Member Username: Keith78Post Number: 21 Registered: Oct-05 | ps that one sub your car, pretty tight |
|
Gold Member Username: Basshead86Ocala, FL USA Post Number: 2230 Registered: Aug-05 | yes it's pretty tight if that was a ?, and thanks if that was a statement. lol 800-900w would be fine for the D3's. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Keith78Post Number: 23 Registered: Oct-05 | statement. thats pretty tight. i just like that 1 sub look. also 2 idq louder than 2 type rs? hmmm |
|
Gold Member Username: Basshead86Ocala, FL USA Post Number: 2231 Registered: Aug-05 | hmmmmm. i go with not louder, but they will sound better. but that's not to say that the Type-R's won't sound good. |
