Gold Member Username: Denali_on_22sI get Bucks like Milwa... Post Number: 4950 Registered: Feb-06 | audioque, dd, and shocker dont have a driver that compares in SQ to the w7 for around the same money. i pretty much rule out the 9100 as an option for anyone. fi probably doesnt have anything as good either, its just cheaper... si definitely doesnt and atomics sq driver wont have near the output of the dumb 7... and the ssi would be the closest thing to a dub7 and the dub7>>>>>ssi |

Gold Member Username: DrivingrecklessDD 9515f, 148.2 db Mov... Post Number: 5693 Registered: Apr-06 | LMAO have you heard every single driver from AQ, DD, Shocker???? dont think so Have you heard all treo subs???? The F-ing SSX is wayyy better then the W7 the W7 isnt an SQ woofer ...its a street beater its a woofer some nub can get throw power to it and it wont blow.... that was the main objective when they designed it...and to put down every single company that i just stated shows how much you actually know....W7 is there HIGH END woofer....why dont you compare the companys HIGH END woofers against it....W7 not W6 my Thoughts treo ssx > W7 DD 9500f > W7 Atomic APX> W7 Fi Q > W7 AQ HD3 < W7 Si Mag < W7 |

Gold Member Username: Denali_on_22sI get Bucks like Milwa... Post Number: 4957 Registered: Feb-06 | You obviously haven't heard a W7 in a good install... I have heard the SSX, the 3512, and 9515. I'm assuming that the HD3 sounds similar to the 9515 and It doesn't even compare. The SSX gets louder, but what do you expect? The APX is an SPL woofer. Maybe you just have a strange taste for... i don't even think we can call what you like SQ. |

Gold Member Username: DrivingrecklessDD 9515f, 148.2 db Mov... Post Number: 5702 Registered: Apr-06 | lol 3 woofers, and yet your able to say whats better then the other.....ive herd plenty of W7 installs maybe your problem is that you havent heard the ssx in a good install (obviously b/c you built the box) 9500 runs circles around the W7, the only thing the W7 has over the 9500 is low end other then that the 9500s bass is more accurate. i hope you think just bc a woofer has a lowend it means it has SQ :-\ APX eh id have to say its SQ isnt up to par...altough it has some its not like a solo X persay... The Q is better then the W7 which apparently you neither disagreed nor agreed so nothing to argue there. And honestly im about to contradict my last post the MAG hands down (older one for i am unfamiliar with the neww one) has much better sq then the W7 and ive heard PLENTY of mags in trunk cars and SUVs. they all seem to dominate the W7 in all aspects... the funny thing reece is that you didnt even read the first post where he says and i qoute: "What 10" Sub will beat a w7 in Sq AND SPL" ROFL so yeah keep thinking we are only talking about SQ.... |

|
Gold Member Username: Denali_on_22sI get Bucks like Milwa... Post Number: 4962 Registered: Feb-06 | because i havent heard subs from shocker (spl company) and the atomic apx i cant have an opinion? i personally like low end and thats a big consideration for me when i buy a sub. haveing good low end is a good start to having a nice sounding sub. am i saying thats all SQ entails? did i EVER say that? didn't think so. i havent heard a fi.q so thats why i didn't comment on it. i think we have the second coming of M.S. forming in dave... not to mention you've contradicted yourself 3 times in 2 posts... "Atomic APX> W7" "APX eh id have to say its SQ isnt up to par" "The Q is better then the W7" ""is the fi q really better than the mag" is this a question??? i never remember saying that statement...

Gold Member Username: Denali_on_22sI get Bucks like Milwa... Post Number: 4966 Registered: Feb-06 | so because it will beat it in spl and sounds like garbage you like it more? im just if you are answering the guys question about what gets louder and sounds better than the w7 you cant say the apx is better than the w7 not to mention you still contradicted yourself about the Q... twice... |
|
Gold Member Username: DrivingrecklessDD 9515f, 148.2 db Mov... Post Number: 5715 Registered: Apr-06 | not to mention you still contradicted yourself about the Q... twice...??? please point that out....i still dont see how im contradicting myself enlighten me.... just b/c its SQ isnt up to par doesnt mean it doesnt have any sq at all which you seem to be assuming....youve never heard one!!! what i get from you is that just b/c its an SPL sub it sounds like trash....im willing to sacrafice a tad bit of SQ to have my sub louder..which in my view it makes it a better woofer... im clearly stating my views, were as you are only insulting my views and not sharing your own. so how about you take that d1ck out your a55 and learn how to argue without being a d1ck.cuz thats the whole point of a forum |

Gold Member Username: 04redmach1Lagrange, GA USA Post Number: 1717 Registered: Mar-06 | I'm sorry, but nothing DD/AQ makes except the 9100 has the SQ of a W7. I have no opinion on the Shoker sinc I have never heard one. Reece, I' sorry, I didn't get your mail. Who said a L7 was better than the W7????? Twizdid, the PG subs are pretty nice, but I havn't played with the new RSD comp yet so I can't say on that sub. But the RSD's hold up nice and I have not had a warranty claim on one yet As for topic at hand, at 750 rms, I would HIGHLY recommend a single spyder Alpha or Sonance. I listen to alot of hard rock, and my Alpha keeps up pretty easy Kevin |

Silver Member Username: TreezIts not loud until it ... Post Number: 312 Registered: Aug-06 | THE IDMAX10 is comparable to the 10w7. ON 500watts each (sealed enclosures)the w7 tends to be louder than the Idmax, but with a faster roll off. The Idmax however extends much further into the midbass frequencies and hit the very low octaves with more authority than the w7... When i tested both subs in enclosure ported at 28hz, the w7 was no where near the Max sq wise. It still was noticeably louder than the max, but no where near as accurate. In enclosures ported at 30hz both subs were on par with each other with regards to output. The w7 being a tad but louder, the MAX still dominated in sq.. Step up the power on the IDmax and the output will be phenominal. The 10w7's however are limited to 500watts(Last time i checked). I would say the IDmax is better sub mainly for sq setups or for persons with limited power or stock alternators ... My test conditions weren't as ideal as they should be...but thats my 2 cents... i would also look into focal , diamond audio, oz audio(elites) rd audio, audiopulse incriminator audio Stereo integrity just to name a few |

Gold Member Username: Denali_on_22sI get Bucks like Milwa... Post Number: 5018 Registered: Feb-06 | I would go with a 12" at least, but I can't really comment on the ID Max output rather than what I have heard and that is that the ID Max has nice output, but not as much as some of the other subs Mike listed. The SQ is supposed to be awesome though. |

Bronze Member Username: HowtoeatapencilPost Number: 13 Registered: Mar-08 | Would i be louder and sound better with one sub at 750 watts?? or get 2 subs at like 300 rms each? |

|
Bronze Member Username: HowtoeatapencilPost Number: 14 Registered: Mar-08 | Yeah your subs looked really loud abarca, Would i be better off with that?? I want the loudest sh1t i can get without sounding like sh1t. My only limitations are a 70 amp alternator and 4 gauge wire, other than that whatever will get the loudest and still sound good. Would a 10w7 or a IDMAX at 700 watts be louder and better than 2 12" xplods at 200 watts each or 2 10" L5 at 200 watts each? |
|
Silver Member Username: TreezIts not loud until it ... Post Number: 315 Registered: Aug-06 | U cant compare the SQ of high end companies like Image dynamics or Jl audio with toys like sony.. The kickers would be the loudest(SPL)(more cone area.... While the IDMax would sound the most impressive....(SQ) Do you need one sub, or two? I would recommend Two 10DMAXV.3 on about 300 watts a piece due to your limitations.... or a single 12 inch IDMAX on 500 watts... Kevin holder on this forum can hook you up a great deal on amplifiers.... If your really keen on SQL speak to Kevin about the single spider RD audio alphas, from what i heard they have very impressive SQL... HE would be able to get you a matching amp and sub combo... |
|
Gold Member Username: Denali_on_22sI get Bucks like Milwa... Post Number: 5032 Registered: Feb-06 | for SQL leaning towards SPL i would get a treo SSI. they sound nice, get decently loud, are cheaper than your other options, and are rated for 750 watts exactly. i would get a 12 in that if you wanna save money. that or an RD alpha. if you don't care about the cash just get a 12 W7. |

Gold Member Username: Denali_on_22sI get Bucks like Milwa... Post Number: 5036 Registered: Feb-06 | w7 is not the best. it is, however, one of the best with your power concerns. the W7 is a pretty darn efficient woofer that sounds damn good. i would look at a couple over IDQs with thats zx750.1 instead of the IDs. you could also go with a couple treo TSX 12s. that would sound nice and get pretty loud. |

Gold Member Username: Denali_on_22sI get Bucks like Milwa... Post Number: 5038 Registered: Feb-06 | i would say the zx750.1, being underrated, would be a little much for the w6 wouldn't it? it would definitely be in the danger zone. |

|
Gold Member Username: Denali_on_22sI get Bucks like Milwa... Post Number: 5045 Registered: Feb-06 | it wouldn't have to be much bigger than the 12" box... if you c an fit a box for two 12s you can fit a box for 1 13.5 |

Bronze Member Username: HowtoeatapencilPost Number: 23 Registered: Mar-08 | im kinda torn between SPL and SQ, alot of kids at my school, have XPLODS and kickers installed and boom, and i got a small MTX sub and amp for $40 to add a little boom for a while, but i wnated to just show them what real subs sound like and be way louder, but then they can always have their daddy buy them more stuff, so i wanted to get good SQ, cause nnone will really have that, so it will be unique to me...what do u guys think is more important? SPL or SQ? |

Bronze Member Username: HowtoeatapencilPost Number: 24 Registered: Mar-08 | 2 Kicker L5 10" Powered by the Sony Amp and 2 Sony xplod 12" powered by the same amp, are the only subs at my school. Last year there were two Alpine Types Xs in custom boxes, and they were really nice. |

Gold Member Username: TejcurrentPost Number: 1242 Registered: Apr-07 | ^ nice sq sub. ID too. If you want it to be unique I'd get something other than JL, just 'cause most the highschool kids I talk to think it's the best crap ever  I love SPL, because if someones louder it means I'm not doing something as good- and I just need to work on it. I recognize that some people WILL be louder on the meter, but they sacrifice any real low end- which mine does pretty well. SPL is so much more fun than sq, because most people wont recognize it and you have to almost become defensive- "That's nice, but you need more bass", reply"It's not supposed to be overpowering" Whatever man, my buddy has these kickers in a big ast box.." I'd go SPL and show some people how it's done. |

Bronze Member Username: HowtoeatapencilPost Number: 28 Registered: Mar-08 | SO good 12" sub at 1000 watts? I was thinking maybe IDMAX or Soundsplinter, for SQ? What do u guys think?? What would be good SPL choices for 1000 watts(still sound good) I dont want to sound liek the guy with the two L5s they just sound like poo |

Silver Member Username: TreezIts not loud until it ... Post Number: 316 Registered: Aug-06 | Running a 1000watt bass amp and a component amp on a 70amp alt is really pushing it... You definately need to AT LEAST perform the BIG 3 and put a battery in the trunk. Until you've done that...your present limitations (space and amperage) shouild not go ignored. i think you're becoming overwhelmed with the advice you've recieved... Plan ur budjet and work form there.... If u need best of both worlds and dont wanna look trendy, go with the single 12 inch alpha , treo's suggested or the IDmax....(with your present limitations) If you really wanna sound impressive, buy 1 or 2 rl-s , TC, JBL, Alpha etc..and upgrade your alternator.. The size and number subs depends on your available enclosure space .. Since Jl and kicker seems to be the dominant subs, then be different.... Again i re-emphasize...Pan your budjet.. |

Bronze Member Username: HowtoeatapencilPost Number: 29 Registered: Mar-08 | is a component amp just the amp on the head unit?? I was going to have the bass amp be the only amp, and the US one was 84% efficient, and someone told me u need 40% for your car and 60% of the alternator can be for other stuff, so even with only the 84% efficent amp i wouldn't be able to run 1000 wattS? |

Bronze Member Username: HowtoeatapencilPost Number: 32 Registered: Mar-08 | What would be best off of this amp US amps MD-2D The most i can supply is 1000watts w7 RD Alpha SoundSplinter RL-p SoundSplinter RL-s (this one requires alot more power than i can give i think 1000-2000rms) IDMAX I want SQL leaning more to SQ. And i have kinda narrowed it down to these subs. I like the IDMAX alot and the RL-s, but im not sure about the amount of power it needs, it probably would sound to great at 500RMS, which is what i would probably listen to it at. Thanks for all the help so far guys! Can't wait to decide what i want and order it! |

Bronze Member Username: HowtoeatapencilPost Number: 33 Registered: Mar-08 | RL-s only has single 3 ohm voice coils, which would mean i could only run it at 750 watss with that amp  so i think it might be out of the question |

Bronze Member Username: HowtoeatapencilPost Number: 34 Registered: Mar-08 | and all 12" |

Silver Member Username: Hurricanebr1anWestern Burbs of Chicago, IL Usa Post Number: 398 Registered: Sep-07 | gawd pick somethin lol Ok for your car get a Kicker zx750.1. http://www.hifisoundconnection.com/Shop/Control/Product/fp/vpid/3141568/vpcsid/0 /SFV/30046 It runs 850wrms at 2 ohms. It should be fine for you charging system. Get a 1/0 gauge amp kit. Then find a sub that you like that is Dual 4 ohm voice coils. And then get a ported box made to spec.} |

Platinum Member Username: Denali_on_22sI get Bucks like Milwa... Post Number: 5164 Registered: Feb-06 | go with a 12W7 if you got the cash. its a nice speaker you wont be disappointed. if you want to save cash get the treo ssi or a couple of treo tsx and they will be louder than both other systems. |
