My new setup for GTO.

[comp2007 10+ year member]

So I have decided to change my setup from 1 12" JLw3 in the trunk to 2 10" IDQ subs in the side panels inside the car. I hate how I have the gas tank blocking me from the sub in the trunk, I dont get much output with all of that in the way. Here are some pics of my current setup and what im switching to.

Before:

In the works, 2 10's in each quarter panel:

IDQ10v2.D4

Dual VC @ 4 ohm each

250 RMS handling

Box Dimensions:

Powered by Alpine MRP M-650 amp.

What do you think?

i think 500 rms is not enough, but you install is freakin awesome

I can dig it.

Thanks, it will be much louder than my JLw3 which is all I want.

Pic with armrest on, modified so the sub can breathe

Yes its only 500 watts rms, but im going from 300rms in the trunk which will be a big difference.

Nice looking install. Also very stealth. Can't steal what you can't see.

You would benefit from a bit more power, but I understand working with what you have.

Ya more power as in more power from my amp or the overall subs? I hear these IDQ's are very high quality. Im sure this will be a step ahead of my current setup. I am not looking to go huge on my system but this should sound great.

that woofer dose not need any more power

You won't be able to get enough power to those subs to get a clearly audible increase in output without having distortion from the sub go up significantly and risking blowing them up. 500w is plenty for the overwhelming majority of normal people.

Ok great, I just picked up some dynamat for cheap and will put it where the boxes will mount.

I like the stealth install, it should surprise your passengers.
