I'm going for SQ over SPL

If you want SQ over SPL, go with a pair of IDQs sealed. And fyi, that auction is only for the box.

What kind of budget are we talking? How much space do you plan to use? What amp is powering it/them (if there is one already)?

I agree, for sq a couple IDQ's sealed are great. I have two IDQ 10's in a sealed box and they can get way louder than a good sq set up will ever need. I have them mellowed down quite a bit.

i guess the question i was asking was should i put 1 IDMAX 12 in a sealed box, a ported box, or 2 IDMAX in a sealed box or a ported box?

i am looking for an SQ setup and do not plan to ever make it loud enough to damage my hearing

staggering amount of replies. my choices:

1) ported box correctly tuned to 1 IDMAX v3 12"

1b) sealed box correctly tuned to 1 IDMAX v3 12"

What is the best option here for SQ? i don't plan to turn it up loud enough to damage my hearing. Anyone?

If this is really your goal, there is no sense in spending the money on IDMaxes. Just buy a pair of IDQs and seal 'em up.

Now if you already have the IDMax, throw it in a low-tuned ported box. That will get you some extra ouput, and will still sound very nice.
