Debating!!! Infinity 10" or 12"???

[SofireGuy 10+ year member]

Alright, heres the low down... I know a little about audio systems... and i know that 10" are nice and quick... and are great for the SQ that i want in my car.... But i have been debating whether i sould get some 12"s.... the Subs: Infinity Perfect Subwoofers... I'm debating whether to get 10" or 12" in the new VQ series... I'm not looking to spend too much cause i have no job.... but I know im prolly gonna go with PPI in amplifier... does anyone know much about 12" Subs...? i listen to alot of rock so i want quick....... please respond

Thanks

I ran a 12VQ in 2.25cf tuned to 28Hz off my GTO601.1. And ****..sounded good, was very clean and responsive. Got loud for what it was but don't expect to win any dB's drags or comps.

The 10DVQ/VQ will do the same but 12 will obviously be louder.

So the 12"VQ are pretty quick??? so did you just get the DV so that you could get a 2Ohm load out of it.... would you recommend getting SV 12VQs???

I had a 12VQ. VQ is the SVC version of the Kappa Perfect Q's. The DVQ is the DVC. It was quick. Good clean bass. No distortion from my listening experience with it. I sold it to my friend and it's still going strong. I ran it off 100W for 3months then 424 from my 601.1 for about a month. Man...it really opened up with my 424W.

So should i go with the 12VQ SV or the 12DV/VQ??? I am also going with a sealed Enclosure.... B/c the amp i am looking at can take a 4 or 2 Ohm load.....

What amp is it? That will determine which to get. The DVQ will offer more load options (2 or 8ohm) compared to the VQ of only 4ohm load.

Those loads are given you are running ONE sub.

I had the kappa perfect 12.1D running off of an infinity 611a and it was awsome in a 1.75 cuft ported

Kappa perfects..... are good starter subs IMO, but I'd never reccomend them to anyone. I had 2 12's so I'm not talking out of my *** either.

Infinity could make a much better speaker IMO.

I would Probably be going more towards a

Power Class Amplifier

4 ohm: 400

2 ohm: 800

Bridged: 1600

Damping: >500

S/N Ratio: >115dB

Dimension: 2.375" x 10"

Length: 30.25"

THD: 02%

Power Input: 4 Guage

Freq. Resp.: 4.5-100k

And then i may go with another PPI amplifier 4 channel to power my Infinity speakers all the way around... if you have any other Subs that would work better with this amp I am open for opinions...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

If you get that 2400, you'd have to get (2) 10/12VQ's to wire the load to 800W. IF you get (2) 10/12DVQ's then you need an amp to do 800ish at 1ohm or 4ohm (1ohm will be alot easier to obtain)

If you have room, yes.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

Well i have room.... but another question... how do you tune a subwoofer yo a certain Frequency(Hz)??? and what would be a good Sealed Enclosure amount of space (Cu FT) for those 12VQs?
