I heard Cadence made decent subs. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif /inside joke

Fi Q might be in your power range, i cant remember. Anything Imaga Dynamics, Audiopulse might have something for you. Mmats subs are great IMO. Made in the U.S.

I think the Alpine Type R or the Soundstream Reference would both sound good for the money you spend.

I heard IA's are the best bang for buck //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif /inside joke

Image Dynamics are amazing, audiopulse are some of the best subs you can buy but a little pricey and need 2500 rms for the axis

I would seriously find a G5 sub, they want 500rms and sound amazing

I vote get an IDQ and run it off the rear channels of that 4chan bridged. It's crisp, clean, and sounds good in small sealed enclosures.

The G5 is a good woofer as well.

But I have more experience with the Q's and they always impress.

No reason for a 2nd amp unless you need/want more power; which it seems you dont. only 1 amp will keep everything nice and tidy, take up less space, and keep draw to a minimum.

idq sub takes 350rms and sounds amazing,

the g5 will be the loudest but the idq and g3 are on par with each other you cant go wrong

I think the winner is going to be the IDQ sub to go with the IDQ components. Can't decide if I should get a 4 and bridge the rears or a 5 channel and run all the speakers to it instead. Just don't know if it is worth getting the rear stage extra power. Would I have to do a big 3 upgrade if I went to the 5 channel as opposed to the 4? I would rather not mess with that upgrade.

Also, I am really starting to get worried about the sub enclosure. I am not seeing anything that takes up a small amount of space and looks decent (or stealth) for my 2010 Mazda3 hatch.....

get the 5 channel and no you wont need to upgrade electrical, its a great price you will be very happy, its a very good amp. and the idq is amazing, idq likes sealed enclosures
