I listen to all types of music and I'm looking at purchasing a 10" sub which will powered by a JBL 300.1 amp. Based on pure SQ alone, which subs should I consider? Right now I'm looking at:

JL 10w3v2
IDQ 10 v.3

Feel free to comment or suggest.

 

SQ huh?
i hear good about alpine type r's for SQ

 

thats a tough one. i haven't heard the IDQ v3 yet, but i can say the JL sounds very good. its damn accurate if you put it in the right box. how much are you going to spend?

 

This year's IDs are better than this years IDQs. This year's IDQs have not been redesigned yet, but the current IDs have been. Correct me if I'm wrong.

 

from what i heard, the IDQ is going to/have been redesigned. its just a matter of time until ID releases the sub.

 

Yeah what I heard was this summer.

 

$150 for the one sub.

 

All of the specs are similar, but I'd go with the IDQ. Just because Ilike to deviate from the norm, and the lower RMS rating (overhead is good). It is probably cheaper also.

You also get a free dampening spray at sounddomain.com

 

That's where I planned on ordering it. I'm not good at resistance so... do I need a D4 or D2 if I want a final impedence of 2 ohms? Thanks.

EDIT: Also, I will probably go with a small sealed box. What volume should I be looking at?

I believe your amp does 300 watts at 3 or 4 ohms, so you could order either one. I would get the dual 2 ohm, so you could wire it in 4 ohm. It makes life a little easier for your amp. http://edesignaudio.com/ep/wiringtut.htm

Edit: Recommended is .4-.8 cubic feet. I'd aim for the .8 to get better low end, and maybe add some polyfill down the road.

I think you are thinking of the JL amp instead of the JBL. The JBL does 300 at 2 ohms and 150 at 4 ohms, but they can handle a 1 ohm load if one chooses.

 

I take it back then, get the 4 ohm.

Edit: lol you're quick
