Silver Member Username: ThigpenRVA, Va Usa Post Number: 243 Registered: Sep-05 | how does the idmax compare to the xxx. i know the xxx costs 70 bucks more, but which is louder and which will sound better, and would it be worth the extra 70 bucks for the XXX? |
Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana USA Post Number: 1539 Registered: Mar-04 | XXX can handle more power and will get louder. (i has been discribed as a loud sub that sounds really good) *note, RE has quit making the xbl XXX...they will be coming out w/ a new XXX soon though, supposed to be ~$100 more than the old XXX.* the IDmax is a good sounding subs that can get loud. if you can find a XXX (xbl^2 version) on ebay or used pretty reasonable, i would say jump on the XXX. they are GREAT subs. |
Silver Member Username: ThigpenRVA, Va Usa Post Number: 244 Registered: Sep-05 | ewwww i really dont want a used sub. theres no way to get an XXX with xbl^2 tech anymore? getting the old one was going to be a huge stretch in my wallet and 100 more is out of range for a while til i get my next job going(only 17) |

Silver Member Username: ThigpenRVA, Va Usa Post Number: 245 Registered: Sep-05 | i dunno if i cant get an XXX i might just save some money and get an idmax...then start saving and get a 2nd one in the summer |
Gold Member Username: Basshead86Ocala, FL USA Post Number: 2588 Registered: Aug-05 | i would get an IDMAX. you can find one online for like $350 or maybe a little less, can't remember. and they need about half as many watts to get loud. so you'll save money on an amp as well. |
Silver Member Username: ThigpenRVA, Va Usa Post Number: 246 Registered: Sep-05 | speaking of good amps... its around 800wrms correct? whats a good amp for that, everything i see is 500-600 or 1000-1200 |
Silver Member Username: Rob_pregRoyal oak, Michigan United states Post Number: 170 Registered: Sep-05 | the IDMAX is 1000w rms, but would do just fine with about 800. I believe mtx makes a good 800w amp, and theres others, just look around. Woofersetc.com is a good place to check out alot of different companys, though i never bought anything from them,so im not sure how their service is. |
Silver Member Username: ThigpenRVA, Va Usa Post Number: 248 Registered: Sep-05 | would i be fine with a kicker kx1200.1 on an idmax if i dont blast the volume all the way up? |
Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 2295 Registered: Jul-05 | could work - but they are underrated by over a 100wrms so i would choose a 1000wrms amp to be on the safe side like a Mb Quart raa1000 RF 10001BD Diamond audio D61000 Alpine M1005 PPI 1000.1 Crossfire 1000 |
Silver Member Username: ThigpenRVA, Va Usa Post Number: 250 Registered: Sep-05 | list out of those the best 2 amps |
Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 2327 Registered: Jul-05 | hey , i just logged on & saw your post . i really don't like the exterior design of any of those new PPI amps so even though they are good products looks does matter too to an extent IMO - 3 that i'd pick Crossfire (which is underrated power) , RF & Diamond ....... |

My vga 1600.2 came with a 2yr warranty. delivered quickly. very helpful people |
Silver Member Username: Baseball1187Columbia, SC Post Number: 126 Registered: Dec-04 | Matt - look at my Avalanche on ebay. If you want a good SQL sub, this is for you. http://cgi.ebay.com/Ascendant-Audio-Avalanche-15_W0QQitemZ5828790713QQcategoryZ1 8804QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem you can give it anywhere from 800-1000w and it will be loud. |
