Given only 250 watts of power, what do you folks think would sound better in terms of SQ and volume, a 10" image dynamics IDQ v.2 or a 10" resonant engineering SR series subwoofer. I have the option of installing the subwoofer in a sealed or ported box. The IDQ has a much higher sensitivity than the SR series woofer (4 db higher), which may make a difference with only 250 watts. Also, I was leaning more toward a ported enclosure to further increase the efficiency of the subwoofer. So which sub do you think would be best, and with what type of enclosure? I am open to all opinions and suggestions. Thanks...

 

I would pick the IDQv.2 for SQ and drop it in a sealed enclosure of the proper volume. Ported boxes are great for 'teh lowz' if tuned to the proper frequency but are not exactly SQ oriented.
