Rep Power: 331

ok, first of all, I did search, but I still have a couple questions. I have an Audiobahn 12'' Flame Q series sub right now, which I'm trying to sell because I don't listen to rap music anymore. This thing was perfect for rap, but every time I was trying to listen to some rock or trans the punchy bass and those really fast beats killed it. As I was saying this thing's soul purpose is POWER, and I want SQ! I didn't realize it before I bought it, but now I'm looking for 2 10's or 2 12's that can handle the type of music I'm listening to now. I was looking at the W3's v2 and I really like them, but can you guys give me some other options?? My main concern by far is SQ, but I'm not 16 anymore, so I really don't care about being heard from 2 blocks away. PLS help out a fellow 7thgener.
BTW, I'm keeping my Audiobahn A8000T amp, so I'm looking for something in that power range. Thanks!!

image dynamics IDQ will come up alot in this category.

Yeah, I looked at those, but couldn't find them any cheaper than 170 a piece.

the JL's will do good, they have won in SQ

i think my friend has some used mb quarts out of the mbquart demo bmw from 2 or 3 years back...only used at CES and some demos, they are just sitting in his basement.


or i could see about getting you some of these but they would probly be outta range.

Adire Brahmas are good. They are out of your price range but I mention them for others reading this thread looking for similar info.

the only one i have used out of the bunch is the kappa perfect. i had three 10s..they were removed from my car by someone other than me...then i had a single 12. i loved that single 12 in a 1.25 cubic foot box with about 750 watts to it (mtx 2300x). it sounded great on everything from Snoop Dogg to Edwin Mccain. i would reccomend it but i havent compared it to the others listed .

Well, those are just a couple that are in my price range. I'm not looking for the cleanest subs in the world, just something nice worth my money.
btw, thanks for all your replies alex053

IDQ's can be ordered from sound domain for $150, and they were running a 15% off sale w/ free shipping. You can probably get them from ID for around the same price if you can get them to contact you back when you call or e-mail. I'd recommend a pair of 8's or a single 10 of whatever you get. You don't really want a 12 in an SQ type design, though there are 12's that can easily be used in SQ applications, the majority of them aren't under what I percieve as your budget (under $170 ea.). I'd love to recommend a single IDMAX10 here, but again, don't think it'll fit in what I think is your budget.

Oh, oops. I, for some reason, thought it was $130 budget we were working with. For 150 the IDQ is a great choice.

For trance and rock .... I would think a pair of 10w3's would be pretty good. I wouldn't suggest a 12 at all, a 10" sub at most.

I'd love to try a bunch of 8" drivers in a car, somewhere around 4 or 6 of them. I think it would sound so sweet and be really punchy.

I swapped my 12" Eclipse Aluminum out of my truck for a pair of JL 8w3's and couldn't be happier. The 8's are way punchier and more to my tastes. The 12 had a huge tendency to be overpowering ....

Punchiest bass I ever heard was from a girl I knew who had 4 8w6s in a sealed box with a Mac Amp.

I keep going back to the 12W3v2's just because I heard them at Tweeter and just love the way they sound for a 12 inch sub.

 
Rep Power: 310

I've had w3s and I love they way sound too. So much so, I went for w6v2s when it was time to replace them.

 
Rep Power: 331

well, I bought my friend's 12'' Polk Momos. I really like the way they sound. Got a good deal so I couldn't pass it up

Phoenix Gold Xenon are a GREAT low bass sub

 
Rep Power: 786

Matched up with good midbass midrange and high end sound you would have a stellar sounding setup.

thanks megahurtz, but I got 2 12'' Polk Momos. (new model)
