1500 RMS? That's a big *****! Thanks for the input, I'll check these out too. So far everything I'm reading on Audiopulse is pretty good.
silly old timer and your outdated ideas.
Hah, I used to live in Cali too. What a shame the military sent my *** out here. I listen to A7X a lot, so I'm looking for woofers that perform well with that style of music.
goto an audio shop and give em a demo. You would be suprised by how good there whole line sounds. Even the idmax was incredibly accurate and pretty freakin loud. It was my fav sub to date. But the idq does seem to be a bit more accuate just not as loud and doesnt need crap for power to get going. Like i said earlier im giving it 125wrms. With gains set moderatly(dont have my dmm)
The HO is probably a better candidate. Yes the HF has a lower inductance (which IMO is something that is preferred) but a trade off is lower power handling and larger enclosure requirements. The HO 10" works REALLY well in a .7 cube ported box tuned around 30hz. Sounds great and has some output if you need it.
Here's my thinking on the topic. It's much more likely that Joe Schmoe, with little audio knowledge, can find a pre-fab enclosure that more closely matches the recommended size of a 10" driver, than a 15" driver. 15" pre-fab enclosures usually aren't built large enough, which will lead to a very peak response and a weak low end.
I'll see what I can do. Got a bunch of shop around here, but none of them have any idea who ID, DD, eD, or even MA are.
oh boy
Those Flatlynes do look pretty nice. I think right now it's between 1 Flatlyne 10" or 2 ID8s. If I go with the Flatlyne I would have to go with a different amp. I have an Eclipse XA1000 from a previous system that I was looking to use on this one. The output at 2 ohms is good for two ID8s (if I use a very conservative setting), but it's roughly 250 watts less than I would need for a 10" Flatylne. I'll have to do a little more research to make my decision. The price difference (not having to buy another amp) is pushing me toward the ID8s. Thanks for the input man!
I'm actually a huge Boston fan. Memphis as well for that matter. As I said in an earlier reply, it's been 5 or so years since I was installing so for all I know they **** now by comparison. Just trying to get the feel of what's out there. 5 years can mean a lot in car audio.. you know.. Fosgate could go to shit, Alpine could be pimped around to 15 different retailers and create two new lines, Kicker could come out with a sub shaped like a square, etc.
Well I did some research and actually decided to go with a single Dayton HF 8" powered by my Eclipse XA1000. All the reviews I've read seem to highlight exactly what I'm looking for (very tight response and dynamic range) and since I just want something to fill up the sound one 8" should be enough. Thanks to everyone for their input and advice!
