My Friend Wants Loud With 800Watts...

Depends on what you consider loud. Daily driver, moderate power (500-1000w) if your hitting in the upper 130's to mid 140's and over... that's pretty loud to me.
That's what I was hitting with W3's and that was loud enough for me. IDQ's can get like that.

There's a big difference between mid 130's and mid 140's.

I said upper 130's to mid 140's. I dunno. I sat in a car that hit 139, and I honestly couldn't feel or hear much difference than mine that hit 144. Mine felt slightly harder, but only cuz I was maybe looking for it.

Only the meter told me mine was louder.

But the point I ws trying to make was, at least IMO, upper 130's + is plenty loud for an everyday system, and I believe IDQ's can hit that mark.

I have to go with Ima on this one -- at least on the v2. I have not heard the v3.

Loud is relative but not when comparing two like subs. Compared to an L7, the IDQs just don't stand a chance unless you're talking two IDQ 15s vs 1 12" L7. And then the comparison is no where near fair.

What I'm saying is that there are plenty of other options out there that will be louder than IDQs.

Okay buddy, if you can't tell the difference in 139 and 144, something is wrong. Get your ears checked. That's a SIGNIFICANT difference. And I don't see you hitting 144 with W3's unless you're talking about a multiple 15's or 18's. Sorry.

Can't beat cone area when it comes down to output, do like three AA Assassins, they should do well off of low power.

i second the premier 3004 or 3002 depending on how you are going to wire that amp. can it dip to 1 ohm for daily? the premiers would still be a little hungry

 

[revrider1 5,000+ posts]

its only 2ohm stable at 775watts, but to me its still underated after hearing it. Like the 4250D, amazing power with such a little amp...
