[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 6963187, member: 549629"] If you really are looking for SQ, Id probably look at an IDQv.2 for that power. But tbh, even if I wanted a low key SQ setup like a single IDQ, Id want more power, even if I simply gained the amp down and gave the setup some headroom (that's very popular with the SQ competitors these days). With a $500 budget, and the profits from the sale of your Ref405, you could buy a pretty good sub and new amp. But if you are dedicated to using that amp, you are going to need a dual 2ohm sub (too lazy to look some up for you, sorry), or a pair whose final impedance is 1ohm mono. Dont go out and buy a $500 sub that wants 1500 watts and a (relatively) tiny enclosure, and then feed it 240 watts. IDQ's are my favorite low powered sub for SQ, but there are plenty of others. If the Jeep is a soft top, a down-firing design will help contain the sound inside the cabin. Its a commonly used trick for convertibles. [/QUOTE]
