Ditto what i said above.......sorry.

 

Do they make an XXX in 10"?

 

not the 07 version.. just the 06 http://cgi.ebay.com/Resonant-Enginee...QQcmdZViewItem

i would call RE though and ask them if they can make one for you in 10.. but the XXX only comes in 2 ohm... personally i am going with SE's with my setup.

well to your credit.. the SE is the only 4 ohm sub RE makes.. everything is 2 ohm's

 

JL Owners shouldn't feel offended by comments.. you should just listen to a car with ID Max or RE or Bhrama's... nothing to feel bad about... i remember the days back in the late 90's when i thought Alpine DDS components were the best things on the planet and i had (2) JL 12w6's in the trunk... i got 1 ID Max 12 and it blew away the JL's no question.. SPL.. SQ.. no question..... then i heard MB Quart Comps and i thought they were the best on the planet... then i heard Diamond Audio Comps and i thought those were the best thing on the planet... now i am on a Rainbow kick...

 

Thanks for the info.

I just called and they said hell no about building a custom 10"

 

whats so bad about phoenix gold i mean they are old school but ive got a 12 on a memphis amp it has a clear beat, someone metioned earlier they are crap?

 

i guess everyone heard about them and they are making good money now so they forget about how they use to help the little people.. ow well.. if you go with the ID Max you won't be disappointed.

 

Hey Kwame

I guess I'll drop in and help out.

First off ... how loud do you need to truly get? Regardless of what anyone will tell you ... having a higher output woofer will have its drawbacks.

Some of the best SQ drivers out there plain and simple cannot get loud. They can sound excellent, handle 600W+, and fill a car nicely... but they won't impress/enrage the neighbors.

A suprise to me, someone mentioned Peerless ... one of the few brands that I can really recommend for a full blown SQ setup. One of the XXLS 10"ers will really do a nice job if you can give it some volume. What size box can you give it?

I have some more suggestions ... and I like the IDMAX as well, a lot in fact ... but your system is "botique" ... and as much as IDMAX is unique ... its too mainstream for your setup

Jim,

I am not trying to have "king kong in my hatch" . You can tell from my equipment that I am not looking for a moving block party. However, I want to have the ability and peace of mind to know that if a good song comes on, whether it be alternative, classical, jazz, rap or maybe a little african music that my sub will be able to handle the 600 watts I am feeding without a hiccup.

My installer says that I should look for a sub that only needs about 1.0 cu ft to be in its optimal operating range. Obviously, I don't want to exceed that because I know I do not have much room back there with these three huge amps. So Jim I am counting on you to throw out some suggestions that I have never heard before . I have my credit card in hand and I am ready to make a purchase by this weekend.

 

Go for the ID MAX IMO! Great subs, sound and hit real clean when in a sealed enclosure.

 

Jim, Thank you, that's what I was trying to say in a previous post of mine....i'm just not as eloquent I guess

I really like the Peerless xxls sub on paper. And I would LOVE to hear one. I would pick one up, but I don't want to insult it by running it with my Diamond D6 compononts. It deserves better hehehehehehe.

 

FOCAL Utopia 11" sub (Its actually a 10")

Not many of these out there at $700 to $800 a piece. If you want something to equal the quality of your system, this would be it.

 

Another really nice sub.......

 

A Utopia won't let you impress the friends in a parking lot though .. and surely won't rock out to some tribal on a late night sunday ride if your beatin on it.

Excellent SQ sub .. just no headroom for this application.

 

Jim's right about that sub. Its not meant for thumpin down the block but i don't think that is your intension at all. I personally like Focal subs in a ported enclosure. I had one in a sealed box and it wasn't very impressive. I ported it and it came alive! They are very smooth sounding and they can hit midbass notes amazingly well. This is a trait I have not found with many subs.

 

Guys I have choosen a sub based on research I have complied. I going with a brand that is very mainstream but the sub I have chosen is from their elite line of equipment. Thanks everyone for your help.

 

+1 on the Boston Acoustics. I have a G210 (DVC) (510 needs more mounting depth than my ZEnclosures box can accomodate.) Very high quality, easily available and work real well in small sealed enclosures.

 

Old sub choice was too big to suit my application, new sub came in the mail today. Seas Lotus SW300 *NEW VERSION:"

 

Nice shoice Kwame, I'm surprised. SVC...Specs?
