i wouldnt call the IDQ massive. my sub isnt a very good one or massive at all and it plays 20Hz test tones.

I really wouldn't go by the freq response

in cab gain makes that spec worthless anyway

Bartak forgot to mention that you have to put a little bit of food in the box depending on how long you plan on keeping the setup.

You guys are too funny!

Why not the Pioneer TS-SW2541D Shallow 10"? I think its a good alternative, it has good frequency response plus is at good price.

Just because it says it can do something doesnt mean it does. Or if so under normal circumstances/parameters. 10Hz on a IDQ 10?!? That had to have been a 6 cube sealed box full with polyfill. Not really but you get my point. 150Hz is possible but that has got to be a tiny *** box. Or tuned for midbass.

(not being a ****) I keep getting accused of that...
