Silver Member Username: Monkey_manPost Number: 295 Registered: May-05 | So right when i thought i made my mind on a sub, i hear y friends 2 jbl 15"'s and d@mn the hit!! I made my mind up on one 12" idmax in a ported box. But now i am thinking i may need louder. I can only put out 800 watts so help me out guys. Also i cant get RE(don't ask) so please dont recremend those. Here's what i have in mind...stick with my chouice of the idmax, go with a 15" Rl-p, a treo ssi, or just go all out and get two idmax's but ill only be putting 400 watts into each. |

Buy a sub so that your amp can easily push it like maybe 1 15" Alpine type R . I hope its 800 WRMS u meant ? - but at what ohm ? |

Silver Member Username: Monkey_manPost Number: 296 Registered: May-05 | It puts out 800 watts bridged into 4 ohms. Other wise 400times 2 into 2 ohms. I wouldn't be underpowering the idmax...the forum told me 600-850 is a perfect amount of power into it. i just want to know how the sound splinter compares as far as spl and sq. |

Silver Member Username: Monkey_manPost Number: 297 Registered: May-05 | How hard can i get an idmax to hit? I mean i love sq but sometimes i just really want to bump hard. |
|
Gold Member Username: Taylor17Kopperl, Texas Post Number: 2885 Registered: Jan-05 | Well, the Sound Splinter will prob hit harder, but won't have quite the sq... but will still sound good. imo |

Silver Member Username: Monkey_manPost Number: 301 Registered: May-05 | Or maybe i can seriously go all out and get two idmax's. I can use the amp right now for my front speakers cuz it's a 2 channel amp. Then i can get like an earthquake amp or something to power two idmax's!!!! AWw i have to stop dreaming... |

Gold Member Username: Taylor17Kopperl, Texas Post Number: 2886 Registered: Jan-05 | Lol 2 ID's with 800 watts would be the best choice.:-) |

Silver Member Username: ScubasteveCollege Park, MD Post Number: 553 Registered: May-05 | they hit hard, especially sealed. Don't be fooled by the narrow surround, they're pretty long throw drivers. |
|
Silver Member Username: Monkey_manPost Number: 302 Registered: May-05 | Actually i think i am going to get one and then see if i need another. If i do then i will save up for a bigger amp and another sub. What do you guys think? |

Gold Member Username: Taylor17Kopperl, Texas Post Number: 2892 Registered: Jan-05 | Thats a good plan. |

Silver Member Username: Monkey_manPost Number: 303 Registered: May-05 | WAIT...why a sealed enclosure?? I was going to go 2.cu.ft. tuned to 32hz |

Silver Member Username: Matt12490Benicia, California Post Number: 222 Registered: May-05 | I would say a 15" Eclipse Ti and put it in a huge ported box. |
|
Silver Member Username: Matt12490Benicia, California Post Number: 223 Registered: May-05 | That would work good with 800wrms like your giving it and its a 15" like you wanted... do you have a budget or what? |
|
Silver Member Username: ScubasteveCollege Park, MD Post Number: 558 Registered: May-05 | well if you tune it to 32 Hz, you'll never get anything lower out of it. If you want to sacrifice that for loud, go for it. |
