Whats a good sub for SQ? under $200

[neo_styles 10+ year member]

SQ with an emphasis on loud. Technically a made up term, so just think about the middle ground between SQ and SPL.

So the Image Dynamics ID series is probably one of the best SQ at the price? Would there be any disadvantages of getting the 15" besides that it will take more space and power because its about the same price?

Polk mm series are very nice. I'm running 2 10's in my taurus and they have clean, punchy bass and good dynamic range. comparible to ID.

No, you get the plus of larger cone area. Just try not to get swept away by the myths that you need a 10" or an 8" sub to get true SQ. 90 percent of it is in the installation, anyway. I have an ID10 and was very happy auditioning it in a friend's car. I'll be running it at 8 ohms on a RF P8004, so it'll be getting about 200W and I'll be happy with that.

Not bad, are those more of a CTX or ID clone, though?

Lol, prince. I remember picking your brain on the same thing. Glad to know you still stand by your Dayton. I'll probably play around with one in the future, but couldn't pass on 40 bucks for my ID10.

no idea. Could just be a specially built driver for the company

Lol I probably wouldn't either. Until something spectacular comes along for me to try, I am convinced the Dayton reference line is unbeatable under $200 with little to no competition.

Hmm. Either way good find. Those would be great and a steal for a pair, I'm sure.

^^^Ack, that's for dragnix.

Prince, I don't doubt it. Further down the road, I'll probably put 2 10" HOs in a ported box for a true SQL system. But not until I get my SQL car (Thinking early 90s Biarritiz or Monte Carlo with all OS components aside from the subs)
