Image dynamics idq 12 I have this sub and it has excellent sq and functions great on 350 rms http://www.woofersetc.com/p2035/IDQ12V2D4--Image-Dynamics-12%22-IDQ-Dual-4-Ohm-Subwoofer.htm You can wire this to 2 ohms bridged on your amp which is what you want. |

New member Username: IntegragsPost Number: 4 Registered: Aug-09 | Thanks sean for the suggestion. Right now i have two old 10" kickers 100rms each in a sealed box but one of them has a tear in it. It sounds ok, but when i get the money, i need to buy some new ones. Money for me is pretty tight because i'm only 17. would it be worth it to buy a single sub, buy a new custom box, or is there an alternative to that situation. Are there any 2 good 10" subs that i could put in the box that i have now that would be good with the amp that i have. Or would it really be better getting 1 12" sub? I'm just trying to get a feel of what would be best to go for, as i havn't really had much experience or exposure to the ins and outs of car audio and what sounds better. The possibilities seem endless :D i'm pretty sure i'm looking for sq. I listen to mostly rock, hip-hop and a bit of rap. i don't care if i'm hear 5 blocks away, i just want crisp, deep sound, well as crisp and deep as my current situation limits me. I'm just a 17 year old that appreciates music like everyone else, and likes it to sound good, period. If you guys have any more suggestions that would be awesome. I realllly appreciate it!! |

New member Username: IntegragsPost Number: 5 Registered: Aug-09 | Sweet, thanks guys. Well atleast i know what i'm looking for. It would be tons cheaper buying from a Canadian store, because shipping, tariffs, brokerage and all those other hidden fee's that really bite you in the butt if live in Canada. As far as i can really notice i have 3 stores i can buy from: high priced local stores, futureshop/bestbuy, and crutchfield( which sadly seems to be the only Canadian online store...) I wish i lived in the US :P I saw what looks like a decent sub on crutch: http://www.crutchfield.ca/Polk_Audio_DB_124DVC_12_Dual_4_ohm_Voice_Coil_Co_p/107 db124dv.htm or http://www.crutchfield.ca/Polk_Audio_db1240DVC_12_Dual_4_ohm_Voice_Coil_Co_p/107 db1240d.htm I have no idea how good polk audio is for car audio, but the numbers seem match up pretty well. I know someone locally who can builds custom boxes which would probably save me tons on shipping costs. If you guys have any more thoughts about what i should do in my situation that would be awesome./ Thanks again, you guys are freakin awesome! |
