Just looking for something that will get loud in a ported enclosure, and will hit all the lows on songs like "Hoods Run Down" and "Hypnotize." Not really looking to compete or anything, I just want a sub that will get loud when I play rap, and have good accuracy when I listen to bands like Trivium, Lamb of God, and Dragonforce.

I don't really have the electrical system for the 5200, and how much would the XXX run me?

Hypnotized doesn't really get that low, tune 30-33 hz would be fine for that, Hoods Run Down actually hits down to 15hz if i remeber right, so u would need to tune to probably 28hz for that. But then again u need a subwoofer that can actually play that low. I know the IDMax plays down to 10hz, and the IDQ's as well. I'd look into those (mainly the IDMax since u want some SPL). Problem is when u tune a box that low its output is alot lower then tuning it to the 30-35hz area. Of course I mean the notes higher then the tuning.

There's no reason to tune below the upper 20's in a vehicle, you have such a boost in the lower octave from the natural transfer function of the cabin anyway...

So tuning around 32-35hz would be better? I've also heard that the IDMaxes don't really get that loud. Is that true?

Depends on how loud ur looking for. Really I think its fine for a daily driver. 32-35hz would be better if ur looking to get a better output, but if ur looking at the IDMax and looking for a system that gets low in the first place then I would tune 28hz. Thing is the Max doesn't like taking more then around 900rms in a ported enclosure.

While the natural tranfer function of the vehicle is a huge help, there has to be actual output for it to boost. For the lowest of registers, you will either need a ridiculously low tuned box or a big sub (or several smaller ones) in a sealed box or IB install.

Just looking for one or two twelves that will get loud and low with around 1000 watts per sub. Why would I need to tune the IDMax so low, if they already don't have that loud output?
