1.1 Cubes Sealed.

600wrms. (I know, underpowered, for now)

Need to make up my mind tonight, I want the ultimate in SQL.

haha i see a nine.5 owner, check out the Incriminator Audio Lethal Injection, needs 600rms so with the Nine.5 being underrated, you will see around 750rms with a good electrical system.

i have that sub and while its still breaking in, its insanely loud, and sounds awesome doing it. not as clear as the FI Q, but like i said, its still stiff and breaking in. uploading some vids at the moment, ill pm you the link.

Well this is actually for my truck, which has a Cadence TXA-6004. But yeah I am wanting something that gets a touch louder than my IDQ but still blends well with my front stage.

The ICONs are still sold out so that might factor in your decision.

I havent heard the Flatline before but my Icon sounds really good. They can run off of 600 watts and sound excellent while doing it.

Well I haven't heard the Flatlines, but since they are created off of the IDMAX I imagine they are amazing subs (I've owned an IDMAX). Icons on the other hand I have heard and was quite disappointed with.

flatline.

I have had a flatline on 2 different occasions and also a couple of idmax's, I think the Flatline sounds just as good as the idmax but will get louder and handle more power. I have never owned an icon so can't help you there.

Flatline, of course. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

The Icon's will be back in stock shortly, and I highly doubt most if not all people in this topic have heard both drivers. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I am buying used...so I can get the ICON now. I dont think I can really go wrong either way here but I am more concerned on whether or not one will perform better than the other with the power I have available.
