I always listen to a lot of film scores. Some of my favorites are Paycheck, 5th Element, Any of the Bournes, I, Robot, 300, and now Beowulf. Most of those cover the gamut as far as music styles are concerned having elements of many genres. They also work well when used to audition theater/music...

I'll throw the ID Max v3 into the honorable mentions.

When I have to choose in those cases, I usually try to ask the person the type of music they listen to. If it's along the same lines as me, I can usually trust that it does such and such songs justice.

I know what you're going through with the trunk situation. Out of the 10" subs I've heard, the Morel Ultimo 10 and IDMAX 10 (both sealed) stand out to me. I personally went with the idq10v3 though because of space constraints, and because it sounds just like a max getting less power. It kicks...

I do now. I'm so used to abbreviating with text messages on my phone, that when I type on forums (I'm using my phone now), I do the same thing on occasion. Thanks for taking time from your browsing to bring that to my attention though.

Yeah, I was planning to just go ahead with the pios because of that, but wanted to make sure there was little difference as far as sound goes compared to the polk. Thanks

So the deal is I bought a 2nd car similar to my current. Audio and/or SQ isn't priority for this car. The speakers inside are pretty much deteriorated. The fronts and rears are 4x6. I would like to replace the speakers since they barely work, but am not going to fabricate space for anything...

What about a v2 ported vs. a v3 ported? It seems that in order for the v2 to perform better, it can only be ported to the v3's being sealed.

This is off the top of my head. The idmax handles over 1kw and has an xmax of 26mm. The idq10v3 handles a little over 400w and has an xmax of 19mm. The idq12v2 handles a little over 350w and has an xmax of 13mm. Someone please correct my info if I'm wrong. I have an idq10v3 in a .8 enclosure...

Your friend is referring to the DynamicSoundstageOrganizer. It works suprisingly well for kickpanel speakers. I have yet to hear another deck bring the stage (seemingly) up to ear level like that feature does. BBE has nothing to do with that. Most of their decks now have that in addition. I...

Sorta like BOSE.

Obscure = Having to work harder to create a good reputation and make enough of a profit to stay around. Typically yielding a superior product. Mainstream = Making very good profit (through mark up, etc.) because of pre-established reputation. Thus, resting on their laurels doesn't impact their...

I don't have an IS300, but I have a 5 series with one 10 (.8cf) sealed off of 300-400w, and it hits suprisingly hard when pushed. So I'm willing to bet a 12 with the same amount of power will yield similar results. I would try a sealed first and see what you think though. I started out with...

And the idq is greater. I'm running a single idq10 v3 in a .8 sealed enclosure on 400watts, and it's phenominal. It gets really low and articulate at high volumes, but its not going to blow windows out. It's more SQL though than the older versions due to its increased xmax I presume. It...

My IDQ came with a huge warning note to not give it full power, and allow it to break in for atleast a week before doing so. Should I disregard that then?
