posted in order from least to most expensive:
2 12" q's
4 12" bm's
2 12" idmaxs

not looking to compete or nothing, just a really nice little system. already have the amps for them ordered so that's not a problem. personally i'm leaning towards the q's so it'll leave me a little more money for the 2 channel amp i'm thinking of ordering, but i have time to save up more for it if needed. still can't decide so hoping some others' suggestions will finally get my mind made up.

I would take the Qs......

In fact I've been wanting some of those. I'm starting to wonder if I made the right choice with my DD 9515, lol. I wonder if a pair of Qs sound be louder / sound better on the same amp (3000 watts)

He obviously wants an SQ based system judging from his possible sub choices

No matter what, I imagine 4 subs would be louder than 2.

how much would the q's be compared to the idmax's? id get the idmax's over the q's but just depened on how miuch more expensive they were, for the price i'd get the q, but if money wasnt an issue the idmax's

idmax-$449 shipped
q-$259 shipped (no options)

ONLY reason i'm liking the q better right now is i have read nothing but bad thing about ids' customer service since they're move, especially how long it takes for a product to be repaired and sent back. i've even tried getting registered on their forum, but have been waiting over 2 months for someone from there to activate my account.

I think 2 Qs will sound really good and loud - that's also pretty cheap. Not sure what all the options are for it, but if you get some i'm sure it'll be a good thing lol

only option increases power handling and helps the cooling, that i have read. but already have the amps so that's not really needed.

How come you haven't considered the TC-3000? It's reasonably priced and handles 1000W rms.

TCs were never in the equation? I got some recently...no problems, although they're still not installed.

q's all the way man you can get 2 q's for the price of one idmax, and those idmax will prolly be better but not worth the extra 500 bucks.... and u gotta use 12's? u aint got room for 15s?

but yeah, q's are sounding really good to me right now.

prolly go Fi... just to save the dough, but if you are wanting to keep this system for a very long time then go with idmax

I was talking within the context - any 4 of THESE subs will be louder than any 2 others. Thx for keeping me honest though, M.S. - I can always count on you for that.
