hi,
I have posted tons of stuff and must admitt learnt a lot,
From my budget,sound i want, advice from everyone... I need to decide between...

One IDMAX10 D4 V3
1000 Watts RMS, 1800 Peak.

or

One RE SX 12"
1000 Watts RMS, 2000 peak.
both are approx the same price...

I know both will get loud... my emphasis is on clarity, tight sound , fast moving subs..
Listen to just about everything and spend a lot of time in my SUV... but ability to get really loud when required to....

if clarity is what you want then ID max is by far the way to go. I would recomend the IDmax over REXXX,and Brahma when it comes to SQ.

id go with the sx on this one. its a 12 so yo9u will have more air displacement and this sub is more a long the lines of a spl sub, but will still give you clarity and response

I didnt even realize it was a 10 vs a 12. then that changes everything. still if SQ is allyour after the I still say ID max but if you want SQL then go RE but I am curious as to why you would get 1-ID 10 and 1-RE 12 why not an ID 12?

two reasons , i have already overshot my budget from 200 to 300, no way am gonna cross that and its almost 350$ -400$s on an idmax 12".

Secondly for the kind of sound i want , i spoke the technical person at idmax , and told him this is what i want and this is what i had, he himself told me a single idmax 10" d4 ( will give my amp a 2 ohm load), will be perfect, and that the next best thing would be 2 12" idqs, or even a single idq 15", but if u can get the 10" idmax its one of the best subs the company has ever made, the driver, the motor every bit of it is a master piece, i just could not argue with that, ... also its affordable, meets my budget.

hi james, how much would be the sound diff between the 12" and the 10"..., have u heard the two, is it worth the diff, the 12" must be louder as well as lower i guess, if i do end up with a idmax 12, it will be my first 12" subwoofer ever, as i always have owned 10".....

thanks a ton, yup its not bad , with shipping it comes to about 300$s...

It was only 280 shipped to India? That's a pretty good deal. I know you'll be happy with the 12 over the 10.
