Thanks so much for the info guys got a lot of confidence in the system I'm putting together!! Thanks again yall.

Okay so If I do decide to pair the Zapco ST-5x II with IDQ V4 which are rated at 750 rms. It should be relatively easy to set the gain yes? The amp can't send more than 750 and since Zapco is pretty high quality as long as I'm not a dumb *** and turn the gain to full blast I shouldn't have to...

Okay good to know this definitely opens up my options on amps available. Gonna do a bit more research, def gonna be looking at the Zapco. These look nice man!! Unfortunately my budget for a 5 channel or 4/1 channel is about $300-350. =[

Oh. Well when you put it that way it seems very trivial for my uses. What about the stuff I've read about under powering a sub? Isn't that something to worry about? I think Crutchfield had a guide I read that said 75% RMS but IDQ specs says it can accept like 50-750 rms. Kinda conflicting.. I...

Hey I'll be going with IDQs Dual 2 OHM speakers so I should be able to wire the prime 750 on a 1 ohm load to deliver that. Thanks for the info.

When I initially read your comment I got a bit confused about "Dual 4" i understand now though. I just thought I needed to run a 750 RMS sub at at least 75-150%. The Zapco puts out 350. Wouldn't I be better suited with a stronger one for a 750 RMS speaker. I am listening just tryin to get it...

I would be all over the Zapco except I am pretty set on getting an IDQ12v4 for my sub and it requires around 750 rms.. spent a lot of time designing a sub box I'm happy with.

Okay screw it. I guess I'm going to save up and splurge a bit. Rockford Fosgate Prime 750 Watt Class D 1 channel Amplifier -Paired with IDQ 12s v4 Rockford R300X4 Prime 4-Channel Amplifier -Paired with IDK yet!! Some nice component speakers.. Rockford seems to have good reviews and...

Well ****. I spent all this time designing a subbox for the IDQ 12 v4 speakers that are rated at 750 watts and didn't really look at amps.. I want a good quality one.. Back to the drawing board!

Hey so I've been looking at the Zapco as well.. is this stable at 1 OHM? I didn't see it reading the specs. When it advertises 720 watts rms is it just referring to total wattage of all speakers? Sorry for the noob questions. The speaker for my sub I'm planning on getting it 750 rms.

Wow thanks so much for the information guys. I think I am going to go with two amps instead of one. A Class D mono then something to power the components. I've been looking at the Hifonics they seem to have pretty good reviews and decent pricing. Cannot wait to get this system going.

So you guys are pretty much saying get a single channel amp just for the sub? I was thinking of getting a 5 channel for all the speaker and was looking to upgrade my component speakers to a nice set. What about a 3 channel for the sub and both forward speakers? This is my first setup and I...

Would a sub powered at 750 watts be too much bump for component speakers powers at 75 watts?

Hey guys this will be my first system setup and I wanted to run it by you guys to make sure I'm doing this right.. any input appreciated. I'm looking at the IDQ12 D2 V.4 and running it off a Soundstream T5.2500DL. https://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_68195_Image-Dynamics-IDQ12-D2-V.4.html...

Made up this design tonight should be about 2 cubic ft net..think Imma just go with this and see how it comes out, unless you got any other recommendations. Thank you for the help!
