yeah it would be a lot easier just to do a ib throught the back seats...do i need to seal off everything in the trunk for the ib? how imperitive is sealing everything? i have no problem stripping everything out and just getting retarded on sealing... but don't want to go rediculously overboard if it isn't needed.
Yes the trunk has to be sealed completely from the cabin, count on a lot of sound deadening. Maybe some foam.

10's are better than 12's for sq right? or am i going to notice a difference in the idq's between the 10's and the 12's?
I don't think you will notice a difference in the Sound Quality of IDQ10's or IDQ12's.

Something you ahve to remember is, when Image Dynamics created these subs, they were built to be SQ beasts, the 12's and the 10's perform great.

The 12's will get "louder" due to cone area. But both will take 500-700 wrms on music all day. The main difference between the two subs outside of their size, is the airspace requirements, obviously IB it doesn't really apply, but sealed, the 12's require a little more airspace I believe.

I know I already pushed it on you, but seriously. Go over to those forums and ask Matt in the fabrication section about running IB in your car.

Main point, 12's or 10's will both sound great, it's really about preference and available space from there on.

I have 2 "mentors" who compete and they both run IDQ12v3's. And both of them are out to get the best of the best. The only reason I am running 10's which I am not even sure of yet, is because I am running sealed and I have a tiny trunk in my Prelude.

Though if I take on cutting up my car, I may get a IDW 15'' or 2 IDQ12's

Another note on ID's forum, just go make a log in and do some reading over there, look at the galleries and stuff to get some ideas.

 
so are you saying that all 8's... and all 15's? cause yes i assume that no matter what size we look at there can always be a better and worse sub, but i would think that 15's would be able to hold some advantages just like 8's could... just because of the size in general.

8's are small and require less space. lol.

15's get louder, and theoretically can reproduce lows better.

But I've also heard of 6.5mid-range speakers that can play down to 50ish hz.

i didn't say ALL anything //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

advantage of a small sub would be its conservation of space.

advantages of a bigger sub would be more volume/better lows

edit* **** im a slow azz poster on a ps3...always late to the party //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

LMAO! yeah man, i try to use the ps3 when my gf takes the laptop... garbage. that console is good for nothing man. mgs4 is the only thing it's good for so far. lol does do internet very well and it just blows ***...

but yes that is what i was looking for. generally, 8's require less space, and 15's will theoretically achieve lower freq. easier and louder... so 2 12 inch idq's... v2 or v3?

 
my gf has one of her type x's in her car and it pounds hard as shit. i like the sq of that sub, it's not great but i think it's better than the w6's... it seems to hit notes more directly and solid... and pushes better than the 2 10's. but it's off a 500/1... and those jl amps are voodoo... great amps but i don't understand them. 1000 rms 1-4 ohms... i think the 500 pushes like 740 or something for actual numbers

but i would be very interested in running the other type x as an infinite baffle. i can't find anyone who has run it. manual doesn't "advise" that though. only wants sealed ported or there is a small bandpass mention in the manual. but if the idq is going to be like night and day to the type x... (which i assume it will be) might as well go crazy!
