you can get a diamond d6 for what you have to spend at http://www.sonicelectronix.com they are on sale for $154 right now. i just picked up another one, both in sealed box and they slam hard. rattles my car apart.

get a 4 ohm and wire it to 2 ohm or get the 2 ohm and wire it to 1. they like power

do you guys think the Image Dynamics ID12v3 can handle 1000wrms from a hifonics bx1000d in a 1.30cu ft sealed box? or should i not risk it and get the dvc 4-ohm model and wire it at 2ohms (500wrms) ?

for sh!ts and giggles, how will this sub perform for rap/hip-hop music?

^ You won't get 1000 wrms from that amp, especially not constantly or cleanly.

estimating around 850wrms-+...but would u still say thats overkill on a ID thats rated for 400wrms?

or is it best to wire it up at 2ohm and get around 400wrms from the bx1000d (i heard hifonics brutus amps are even more overrated when wired at 2/4 ohm?)

^ and my hifonics blew up @ one ohm + impedance rise

alpine =sql my freind has 2 12"R's in a 2.25cuft sealed box there sq is pretty good, he is powering them with 400watts each. they are to loud for me imo, i havent heard the new ones yet though.

infinity = pure sq with not as much spl. they still have some bang though dont get me wrong. but there sq is just incredible, imo.

diamond i have heard good things about them, but never heard them.

i noticed theirs a better higher end model of the ID line up...the IDQ 12 V2...is it worthy to dish out another 40 bucks for a "higher end" woofer?

i searched and came up with this: http://forums.caraudio.com/vb/showthread.php?t=66603&highlight=Image+Dynamics+IDQ12 *view post # 5*
