Which sub for great SQ, but also can handle the low notes

ssa dcon is a cheaper alternative that wont disappoint and can take 400-500 watts

Well I am thinking of going with an Image Dynamics. After doing some more checkin around on the web, I see alot of people ravin about them. Guess the next question is it really worth the $80 difference for the IDQ or should I just get the ID10? Like I said I am just wanting some clean bass that works with all types of music and that can still get relatively loud without losing the quality, but at the same time I not trying to compete or anything. So does anyone have any input on these two subs? Thanks again.

been reading lots of good reviews about jbl gti subs...awesome sq and still pretty dang loud..

I've had some experience with the IDv2's in 10 and 15. They sounded great and got pretty loud for the money, but they didn't like sealed enclosures and didn't like too much power (blew the 15 with 600w of clean power). I've got two jbl gti 10's right now, and I'm pretty impressed with them. They're definitely more expensive, but maybe you could find some good used ones.

I will have to look into those. You think one ten would be pretty good? I definitely want to keep it a single sub setup to save space, which is also the main reason for going with a sealed enclosure. I used to have two 8" JBL GTO subs in a sealed enclosure and they far exceeded my expectations.

Well I just noticed the price of the GTI series for new and they are more than what I'm tryin to spend, didn't see any used ones as of yet. What about the JBL Power 10" sub. Have you had any exp with them?

Morel Ultimo???

Dayton Reference 12" or 15"

Exodus Audio Shiva-X2 or Tempest-X2

Anything from Acoustic Elegance that fits your box requirements

IDQ (which has better SQ than IDMax, by the way)

etc.

To the guy who said DD: Shame on you! DD is NOT!!! for SQ. They make some amazing SPL subs, but they do not deserve a mention in this thread at all.

those are the d4 dcon 10's. in 2.5 cubes @ 32hz. Running on 400 (clean power) each.

Well thanks for the help. I think I will spend the extra $ and go with the IDQ10, probably worth it in the long run.
