I would say the ID has a better SQ compared to the JL.

DIDDO, for what the 8's will do...the JL's are clean but i've always like the ID subs even though i've never personally ran any of them so i guess it's just my opinion.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

I had a JL8w3 and wouldn't buy one again, FWIW.

I've never heard the ID8, but am a fan of ID gear, so I'm guessing it's just as nice as any of the other stuff they make.

As far as power handling is concerned, it's more a function of the enclosure design than anything else...

FIWI, I'm running an IDQ10V3 on an amp that makes twice as much power as what it's rated for... no problems.

why is that

 

[BEAVER.989 10+ year member]

Very poor output... maybe I was just expecting too much from an 8. Regardless, I wouldn't do it again.

was that the V3 or V2

 

[BEAVER.989 10+ year member]

Now that I think about it, it was a v2...

the ID8's will handle 300 watts all day.. ive heard two of them off one of the arc amps and they sounded very very well

im lookng at the "new" V3 rated at 250RMS im thinkin of pushin 300 to them but now ive seen the ID and im back to square one dont know which to get

I don't know if the 8's power handling is the same as the 10" model but I have a single id10 and I am using a kicker zx250.2 that is rated at 313 watts rms and it handles it perfectly fine. It is in a .7 sealed cubic foot box and it sounds great.
