SA 10 vs IDQ v3 10 in .75^3 sealed

[AgEnT 10+ year member]

Which would you recommend? I will be powering with 500RMS

If you can be as detailed as possible regarding SQL, SPL, reliability, etc.

Hard to decide //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

The IDQ is a sealed box SQ oriented sub.

Doesn't sound like you want sound quality. SA-10 then. I do love my girlfriend's Mach5 IXL.

Although not many folks buy the SA-10/12 for "SQ" -- they perform quite well in this regard.

If i was going ported, this would be a no brainer and I would pick up the SA 10/12. However, I think I will have to be going sealed .75^3 box.

It seems that the IDQv3 has been getting great reviews in sealed and I haven't seen many reviews on the SA 10 in sealed

I really cannot think of anyone off the top of my head that has actually installed an SA-10 sealed. There is no reason for them not to be ran sealed -- just seems everyone wants to port them and beat the block down //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Jacob, have you heard one in sealed?

I've had the 12s sealed and, IMO, they sound quite good.

What about the 10s?And he asked about power.....is 500 watts enough for a pair of SA10 sealed?

Depending on box size it could work just fine -- they still perform well without gobs of power //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I installed one pair of 10s sealed -- and it also performed quite well.
