Sealed box for 12" IDQv3

A birthsheet hardly proves your sub is seeing 850 watts.If you are concerned 1000 watts will be too much (and imo it probably will be), just turn the gains artificially low and call it headroom.

It usually doesn't, but occasionally it get's pretty **** close...

i have my idqv3 12 inch in a ported box at 1.9 @ 28 hz from ID recommended spec sheet and it is AWESOME. the output and SQ blends perfectly although sometimes i get too much output then i want so i just mess with the tuning. But i will have to vote for going 1.9 @ 28 hz.

I would not give my IDQ 1000 rms. Sounds like overkill. I have a PDX 1.600 and i am only giving the IDQ 500 rms and it still ROCKS!

My point was your amp may be capable of that wattage, as shown by the birth sheet. But that does not mean its set up to be outputting that much (either via impedance difference, gain settings, volume control, etc).
Dont mind me though, Im just nit picking. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I don't mind at all. You usually provide some of the more intelligent converstion this place has to offer.

While I completely understand what you're saying, I have a tendency to simplify, or dumb things down a bit... K.I.S.S. method FTW.

Hey we have the same truck.... I got a rsd 12 in a .95 cf sealed center console box, how are you running your idq?
Im interested in switching my sub to the idq and give it 1,000rm from the jl

I was running it under the rear passenger seat, the box was spec'd as being 1.0 cubes. I noticed the sub had a lack of output to it, and was completely whiffing on the low notes. So I took it out and measured it all out(which wasn't easy, the shape that box was made to fit under the seat) but I only came up with .48 cu ft before sub displacement! So don't buy the prefab sealed underseat Ram boxes off Ebay!

Anyways, what I ended up doing, since I like my cubbyhole under the middle front seat, I had Phil Salisbury at Woodlawn Cabinetry make me an armrest box @1.1 cubes for the rear seat. People always *****ed I didn't have a rear armrest, so now I do! He got the actual black fabric my seats are made of and used it on the box, and put some padding on the top. It sits right on the seat above the cupholders. It is downfiring and has little legs it sits on. It is a very very well made box, and it looks and works great. It took him a little longer to do because he had a problem with his wife being ill, and then he felt bad so he only charged $90 shipped instead of the $120 he quoted me.

Those middle console boxes are the ticket providing you don't mind losing that cubbyhole, etc. I didn't want to do all that so I went this route. Bad thing about trucks is that it is hard to get subs in them without giving up some kind of space you will eventually wish you had. With a car, you have a trunk, and no one sees the sub/amp unless you open the trunk. And oftentimes it still leaves you plenty of room, and makes things easier.

I am very pleased with my setup in my Dodge. I would like an ID amp to top off an entire ID install, but my Cadence works just fine for now. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Awsome... We need some pics...

I have a center console box on my ram and want/need something larger with better mounting depth...

Dont know when I will get around to getting pics, been getting in the house about an hour before bedtime every night the last few weeks...The armrest style box is a good route to go if you need more airspace...and something that blends into the interior.

Do you have any pics or infor on this armrest style box? I assume its for the rear seats the armrest? any site online where I could get info?
