I'm hoping a few of you experts can give me some advice on an upgrade. I'm currently running (2)IDQ 10DV2 off a Cadence A5000+ (Sweet Poison). I'd like to get a little more kick while maintaining the SQ. I happen to have 2 of these amplifiers. I'm considering either an IDMAX 12 or (2) of the IDMAX 10s. Which would be the better way to go as far as SQ is concerned? Here are the specs for the (2)amps I currently own (maybe for sale) and the one (A7000+) I'm real close to purchasing.
SPECS: A7000+
4 OHM STEREO - 250 WPC
2 OHM STEREO - 450 WPC
4 OHM MONO - 900 WATTS
THD - 0.008%
A-WTD S/N RATIO - 105DB
X-OVER TYPE - 12 DB SLOPE, LOW PASS
X-OVER FREQUENCY - VARIABLE 30 - 600 HZ
SPECS: A5000+ (I have 2 of these)
4 OHM STEREO - 175 WPC
2 OHM STEREO - 250 WPC
4 OHM MONO - 500 WATTS
THD - 0.05%
A-WTD S/N RATIO - 100DB
X-OVER TYPE - 12/24 DB SLOPE, LP/HP/FULL
X-OVER FREQUENCY - VARIABLE 30 - 6000 HZ
What are the pros and cons of (1) 12" VS (2) 10"? It's been suggested to me that I could use 2 amps in mono mode on one sub with each amp feeding a different coil. Is this advisable? Any guidance on this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rick
