12" 1K RMS SQ Sub?

[Down 10+ year member]

I'm looking for 2 SQ/SQL 12's that will take a little more then 1000rms a piece, but can fit in about 1.3-1.5 of air space. They also need to be dual 2ohms. I listen to only fast paced metal, I currently have 2 IDMAX's and I love the way they sound, but they're dual 4ohm, and I just want to change it up a bit. Looking to sell them or trade them towards a new set. I've been looking at the Memphis Mojo, Soundsplinters, Fi, ect. Any suggestions?//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

Can any of you give me some reviews of the Q? They sound promising, but I'd like to hear first hand experience.....

Um, I'm no expert, but from everything I have heard and read, going with Fi Qs would be a definite downgrade from your IDMax's. IDMax is regarded as one of the best SQ subs period, so I don't know if you actually do want to downgrade for some reason (???), but if you are looking to upgrade, you need to start looking at stuff like the SI Mag, Aura, DLS, and Focal subwoofers. I don't know which of these come in D2 besides the Mag, but anything else probably won't sound as good as your Max's from what I've heard...

Take this for what it's worth, I haven't heard those subs, just lots of people talking about them. Just my $.02

Might want to take a look at the W6's too. I know 1000 a piece is too much for them, but I listen to strictly metal myself (In Flames, Children of Bodom, Amon Amarth, etc) and out of all the subs I demo'd, they sounded the best for the music I listened to (I heard an IDmax too). W6's are D4 too, but you said you were just looking for a change.
