IDQ's

[beckSHO 10+ year member]

I've narrowed it down to this sub. The only problem I'm having is... I can't find any info on power! I have no idea what a good amount to send one should be. I will have about 400wrms available to me. How many should I go with?

-1 12"

-2 12"s

-1 15"

Let me know what you guys think. From what I've read, they are very good in the SQ department, which is what I'm looking for. Hopefully you guys can help me out. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/thumbsup.gif.3287b36ca96645a13a43aff531f37f02.gif

http://www.imagedynamicsusa.com 2 12"s would be great. even with just 200rms to each (since u say u have 400 rms) it should still sound great.

Yeah, I looked at their site, and they gave a 500 watt range on the RMS ratings. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif

How many watts have the rest of you, who have had or have these, been sending them?

My brother sends his around 450 each and loves them. If ur planning on trying to power them with alot more than ur probably not trying to look for SQ subs.

two 12's would sound nice off those watts but, I personally liked one 15'' IDQ than two twelves. IMO that it is one of the best sounding 15'' I heard befor.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

That's partially becuase of their VERY high effeceincy. IDQ's don't need alot of power. If I was you, I'd get 1 15 off that power. You can properly power 1 off of 400 watts and you'll probably get pretty low to boot.

Hmmm.... Now I am left with choices.

Decisions, decisions, decisions....
