IA 187s VS Planet Audio Zetars

[01 S 10 10+ year member]

well i listen to just rap and maybe some test tones when i feel like showing off but id be putting them in a sealed box.
the main reason im really asking this is because i dont really care about who makes them iv heard alot of Planet Audio stuff out here and it sound alright atleast the newer 12s i had heard the had some good SQ but still got loud when ported but with the 3 12s id be running at 1.34ohm off my amp and with the 3 10s id be running a 1ohm load so really with the 10s ill get a little more power and cone area but with the 12s iv wanted to try some IA subs but idk weather i should wait i want to get there 21" and make a wall.

If you want good SQ the Planets are a good choice, If you want ported they should still do well, i never had them ported. Sealed will wang hard though with 4 of them.

plus you will get more power out of your amp at 1 ohm instead of 1.34.

are we talking about planet audio zetars of today or the ones from like 5 years ago. the zetars from 5 years ago are some bad *** subs. the ones of today are kinda cheap.

weeeeeeell excuse me for using basic math i dont know all the tecnical math IMO i belive 4 10s would be louder than 3 12s when the 10s have more power and IMO more is always better

more is not always better. Just stuffing a trunk / suv with woofers IS NOT going to be louder then less subs in the CORRECT install. The 10's in this case would most likely handle to power better per say. More coil = usually more power handling thermally

my point exactly thats what the main question was about the amp load but i guess everyone wants to change the subject of the thread and not give me a complete awnser i see people perfer IA over PA because id be helping a little guy out but IMO i really dont care about helping a little company out if ints not going to be louder than a bigger company im looking for the most for my buck

im not going to be just stuffing my trunk with subs which ever sub i get imna be building a ported box later on to match the subs specs right now i just want to know if 4 10s will be better on a 1ohm load VS 3 12s on a 1.34 load both off a Hifonics 1606D

Personally, i don't even think you will notice a difference. The Hifonics is already underrated. Go with the IA's. Great subs, and what the 187's are selling for right now, you can't beat that price.

Well, if he was using rulers as speakers... He'd be dead on.

True. Maybe someone should start making ribbon subwoofers so the poor guy doesn't feel inadequate.

You mean overrated. The most he'll see out of that amp is about 1300wrms. If you're looking at IA, I'd just go with a couple Lethal Injection 15s.
