IDQ12v3 box dimensions.

[korndawg 10+ year member]

My IDQ12v3 should be arriving soon, and according to ID, they recommend it going into a 1.0 cubic foot sealed box. Any of you built this box? I'm unsure whether to build one this weekend or go order one. By my calculations, using 3/4 mdf, my outer dimensions will be 13x13x13. Any other suggestions?

Ok, so obviously I'm going to be bias but I have personally used the IDQ12v.3 in 1ft^3 sealed on a Q600.1 (600w x 1 class AB) with great results. I sue this mostly for marine application. I have never heard any complaints about not enough bass or not sounding good. I've done a few cars again with great results.

Have you noticed that the IDQ 10 and IDQ 12 both have almost the same audiophile box size recommendation?

1.0 to 1.1 cubic feet if I recall

I did a box with 2 IDQ V3 10s sealed... 1.9 cubes sealed. Wayyyy too big. Subs overexcurd very easily with 500rms on the pair.

Also, the cutout was way bigger than what the site said.

I kind of feel the same way too.. but does anyone know how to check this with WinISD or something?

1.9ft^3 IS too big for (2) IDQ10's. I would put them in 1.3ft^3 - 1.4ft^3.

The sweet spot for a single IDQ10v.3 is around 0.65ft^3 - 0.75ft^3.
