Image Dynamics IDQ v.2 or Elemental Designs 11kv.2

I myself am getting a pair of EDs. Nothing else will sound better in that box for 90 bucks each.

box from SCS is what, 140?

2 ED subs would be 180.

that leaves around 200 for amp? meh, id get this one.

im gettin that one too

make sure your subs are dual 4 ohm, then you can wire them in parallel twice to get a single 1ohm load for that amp.

im in the same boat as you, best sound for least amount of money and this setup should be great, im going for it.

id save on the components and amp combo. running your components and subs off the same amp will be tough because your subs need 600 RMS, you wont find an amp that puts out that much for a substage AND enough to power a component system.

id stick with separate amps for components and subs.

Which setup looks better?
2 11kv.2 ED subs in a musicmoose box

with a ED Nine.1 amp, Nine.2X, US amps XT1000D, or XT2000D?

And what would be the best way to wire that? 2DVC or 4DVC for the subs?

Im going to go ahead and say get the US Amps, just cause I hate eD

The XT1000D will work good. You would need the DVC 4 ohm version of those subs so you can wire them down to 1 ohm.

The Memphis Belle from Memphis Car Audio is actually a kickass amp for this situation. 75x4 RMS for the mids and highs, 1000W RMS for the subs at 1ohm. The only drawback is you will have to save a little longer. I think you can find them every now and then on fleabay for about $700-$800. BUT, and I can say this with utmost certainty, it will run your ENTIRE truck and not break a sweat doin it.

Why 1.- Never have been even mildly impressed with anything about them. I like to try stuff before I talk about it, but I dont even have any desire to try anything eD. Business practices are less than subpar even IMO. Like I said, I like to get some personal experience with stuff before I talk it up or down, but eD can just suck my .... Well we'll just leave it at that.
Take that with a grain of salt though, Ive just heard enough chit about them that Im not interested in them at all. Thats MY opinion though Might be selfish and ignorant, but oh well lol

Why 2.-While still a halfway decent product, US Amps likes to stretch thier power ratings a tad on their new stuff. Did anyway, maybe that has changed, havent paid a whole lot of attention to them lately. That 2000D probably does closer to what the 1000D is rated at than what they actually rate the 2000D at. Never the less, it will still work fine. That much more power besides...Mo powa is always a nice thing to have
