BEST SQ sub with 500rms @ 2ohm

[budahbuddy803 10+ year member]

I want a single SQ subwoofer that needs 500rms @ 2ohm. I will most likely run both sealed and ported to see which i like better. I like the IDQ 10" v.3.

Do you guys think there is a better subwoofer out there for lets say under $350?

i'd have to vote iDmax ported... for more efficiency. Or port your idq15

Noooooo. The sub you picked is plenty linear and clean, you won't find better in the price range but you might want a 12" so it goes lower (depending on how you like your sound)

the cheapest idmax is $450

the cheapest 10" w6 i can get is $380

i cant find the idq 12" v.3 anywhere

AND My 15" IDQ only has one working vc

So should i go with another 15" IDQ v2 or the 10" IDQv3?

i am 17y/o i understand that you need a checking account or credit card to create an account and i dont have either. My parents wont even let me use theirs so i think i am out of luck.

REALLY WHAT DO YOU THINK WOULD BE BETTER 1 10" IDQv3 or 1 15" IDQv2?

I have heard the v3s are better than the v2s, I have not heard (v2) so I cannot comment. Do you prefer a bump/thump sound? Or do you like ultra low sound? If #1 go with the 10 - it will still get low but not as low as the 15" which is also a v2. I wouldn't recommend the 15 personally, its a v2 and I like the way 10s sound more so thats my answer. I've also noticed 15's cause a shitload of resonance and a rattle

I just did a pair of 10 IDQv.3's ported in an 08 Chevy crew cab. I have a Cadence ZRS 7000D 1000watts RMS powering the subs. I'm not 100% certain what the specs are on the enclosure as I had it build by a local shop. I did a quick measurement just to see. I plugged in the numbers and looks like did 1.5 cubes per sub with the 4 inch round port just under 20 inches. Looks like the Sub data sheets calls for 1.5cu ft for Audiophile enclosure. ...But it sounds incredible!! I have had ID's, IDQ's and several other setups. So far I'm very impressed with these new subs. After seeing them released, I had a strong feeling these were going to be really good... But they are in fact awesome! I dont believe the 12's are shipping yet. You may want to try to call ID next week to see if they have shipped any.
