ARC SQ subs- redesigned

[3.5Max6spd 10+ year member]

Posted this on a thread on the Amp section, fig I post it here for those that missed it or might be looking for an SQ sub....

So I ordered 2 ARC 12's because I was sick of waiting on the release of the ARC Flatline flat cone sub, and to my surprise ARC series just came off production (Cone and magnet improvements) and dont look like the subs it replaced (10"s, and 8"s are being released as well)

As far as sound goes- these go far more towards SQ than my Rubicon/Vangogh 12's, they were very nice sounding, but not as accurate-Plus the Arcs are very efficient- Some elsewhere have said its basically an improved version of the old ARC 12 which was an improved version of the IDQ-

Numerous people so far have asked me if i was running 3-4 10"s, they hit really quick and hard and they are literally flawless in the 30-55hz range which is where I do most my listening from them- They seem to be underated in the power handling dept as they are rated 350rms and are seeing upwards of 490rms and do not sound overpushed ( this can be attributed to the small volume its in) and lows hang in there on long long notes, but in a more natural not SPL kind of way- but as the days pass, the punchiness remains and the driver is hitting lower and lower more through its breakin in period- but i have to say, this is the first time I've had guitar bass give me goose bumps-I'm very happy with my decision, but like any other product time will tell how they hold up, although ARC has put nothing but trouble free products in the market to date-

This is truly an SQ sub, nothing else and it gets so loud to the point where my highs start breaking up, and the subs are still valiently pounding away, not missing a beat

They do everything they are suppossed to and nothing they aren't supposed to- if that makes sense?

I was going to do some ARC Kar series 10's in my Pathfinder, but now I'm debating- again , very impressed-

Being that I ordered the original 12's, not knowing I was receiving a retooled sub, I imagine that the older 12's are no longer available-

Depression- you best bet is to call Brad @ Arc and inquire about them and what will suit your 2050 , also get a lil' more info on the size of the enclosure you can work with
