ssmokeyy Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Hey guys I'm building a sq system in my z but I like there to be some bass in my music. My front are morel hybrids with 180 rims per side. Amp is a arc audio ks300.4 pushing them. My sub amp is a rf power 1000.1bdcp I know not the cleanest sub amp. But later I want to replace it with a arc 2500.1. With the front have so much power I know I need a sq sub that can make around 141-143 daily to keep up. I'm wondering in my 350z would a idmax 12 v4 be able to handle 1200 rms that my rf can put out and also do 141db with out killing it? Would it be better for me to use two idq 12 v4 subs? I have always wanted a idmax but don't want to spend the money and hate the output. I have the same problem in my f150 with my rf t1 with 1500 rms just isn't loud enough but again I have 185 rms in there on the mids and highs. Thanks for the help. I have looked at arc, fi q, type r, kicker, kenwood, AA and for some reason I like the id stuff more. I would go with two morel subs but there cost is crazy high. I feel jl audio is over priced on there subs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neuspeedescort Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 building for SQ, SPL comes along with it. but building for SPL doesn't bring SQ along with it. hope that makes sense. i have found when wanting a certain DB you will be chasing SPL forever. i believe the ID12 will perform nicely. it will require a ported box if you want higher output. a sealed enclosure will not likely net you over 140 out of that single 12. the power you want to throw at it is going to likely tear it apart. rated RMS is like 800. all the brands you noted are imported. the JL is made in america. so you are paying a non-sweatshop employee to build that woofer. not sure the currect cost on a Digital Designs 3500 12. they will handle the 1200 RMS you want to give it. they are very music friendly. i know an IASCA SQ judge that has one in his daily driver. does high 130's on 900 watts in an SUV.

Keith77 Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 If it was me... I would go with the Fi Q.. then an AA Havoc.. Thats just me though. Plus the new Fi Q are so damn Sexy Thats cool. Im way too old to be upset by shit like that. Your name is winston. Your own parents hated you even before you were born. My penis is bigger than your penis I'm far from loud and my roof/headliner flaps around like Adam's ass on a windy day. I think it depends more on the structure of the vehicle.

catch 22 Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 The idmax is a straght up sq sub. Sure the FI Q will get louder, but that's about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skullz Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 SQ is the sum of everything, there is no one thing that makes it an SQ setup, while some parameters contribute to how well it will perform for a certain situation it can be greatly affected by bad install, bad tuning, bad equipment and bad enclosures. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I meant was, the idmax is a purpose built sq sub. Low moving mass, high motor strength, high sensitivity. It's very accurate with a flat and wide frequency response. ssmokeyy, the idmax will have no problem getting loud while sounding excellent on the power you have.

ssmokeyy Posted January 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 So I have been looking at the fi q neo since they don't sale the old model any more. It's rated at 1700 rms. It looks like a spl/sql driver more than a sq/sql driver. Does any one on here have one in a sq setup? How do u like it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
