Ok not really, but it got your attention. lol

Since my mind and wallet are constantly changing, I figured I'd let the pros pick out my new subs. Looking for 2 10" or just one (need to keep the price around $200). Here's the amp that will be spanking the subs ****.

Let me know guys what you all think I should get and I'll make sure to get a ton of pics. I don't wan't a seat lift. i listen to metal and hard rock. And Rap occasionally. SQ is higher in the food chain than SPL, but I just blew my last sub so I play them very loud! I don't want to change out amps to go louder so this will need to match up pretty good to the new sub(s). Everything else is stock. Next to go is the H/U, then the door speakers. HOOK A BROTHA UP!!!

PS, if you have another sub in mind, post a pic please.

 

4 8's

 

Hmmm... Wonder where i could see one of those. Have you finished your box yet man?

 

actually, I just did today, still need to do the trim ring but the box is sealed now

 

Cool man. Get those pics up.


But since I am not gonna swap out amps, which ones should I go with.

 

brax, audison, tru, zed audio, zapco, genisis, sinfoni, among others.... oh wait, those are good amps.....

 

 

go with two of the kenwoods

 

Out of the speakers that you had selected I would have gone for this one. Primarily because of your need for a shallow mount speaker, and because this unit is about twice as loud as the others (given similar circumstances)
Shallow mount speakers give up some conversion efficiency (Elect.>Sound)producing less sound per watt. If you can got over this point that you will need essentially twice the power required for similar speakers than they all are essentially the same. I prefer convex geometry speakers myself, but I can understand the need for fit in some vehicles.

 

Why not these?

Seems like they would be a good match for your amp. Two 4 ohmers, wired parallel. I'm running two 8 ohmers off a PDX 1.600. They sound pretty decent.

 

Get passive radiators and put squirrels in the box to push them in and out.

 

the kenwood doesnt even dip below 35Hz you can find comps that will hit lower frequencies then that....

i like my subwoofers to hit the low lows. go with the IDQ no doubt. if it is too deep, get the v.2 its more shallow.

 

35 is the low lows, anything below needs massive cone area to hit

 

10" IDQ V.2
* Size: 10 inch
* Rec. Sealed Box Dims: 0.35 - 0.70 cu. ft.
* Rec. Ported Box Dims: 0.75 - 1.00 cu. ft.
* Free Air Usage: not recommended
* Sensitivity: 89.9 dB
* Frequency Response: 10-150 Hz
* Recommended RMS Power: 250W
* Peak Power Handling: 500W

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