i would say the idq's if your goal is sq. while the idmax does sound great and gets loud, in terms of sq the idq is better

box is dependent though

i like sound quality so i have to go seal right? thanks BS06

ported can have great sq too but nothing wrong with going sealed. however you will not have as much output as you would in a ported box.

if you want some really nice sq try an infinite baffle install //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

i think you know what you talking about so let me ask you this IDQv2 vs JLw6v2 which one will sound better in sq? i have a single 12 JLw6v2 right now and i don't want to make a mistake by go with ID. thanks

A low tuned ported box w/ the IDMAX would be pure ***.. Like 2.5ft3 @ 32hz w/ 30^2 of port would be awesome. Heard a few setups with IDMAXs and was soo impressed with all of them. They are sum of the best all around woofers i've ever heard. Don't have huge output potential but they can take a solid 1k daily and they do get decently loud.

i personally do not have any experience with that perticular jl sub however from what i have read they will sound pretty much the same.

I personally would run the id sub but that is due to me wanting all my speakers to be the same brand.

if your concerned at all with spl i will say that i metered one of my idmax 12"s in a 3 cubic foot box tuned to 29hz and i metered at 143.7 if that is at all important to you. and was running my old powerbass asa1500.1d at 2 ohms //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

2.5ft3 internal?

 

[Brian_smith06 10+ year member]

2.5ft3 internal?

and im assuming after displacement too

i think i know what i want now, 2 12 IDQv3 in a seal box thanks.

 

[Brian_smith06 10+ year member]

nice. your going to love them. I honestly wish i would have gone the idq route. my idmax's are a little too loud sometimes

 

[kevin lu 10+ year member]

and a Arc Audio 300.4 to a set of Polk Audio sr6500 component up front and a set of Hertz High Energy coaxial on rear and i think they will sound good.

I'm running the IDV3 series and they are the best subs, I have ever heard in my life. Never had 8's get that loud and sound that d a m n good. It don't seem real sometimes, that 8's could sound that good.
