i'm planning for the future again (what you have is just never enough, is it?) and i'm looking for subs now. i'm not real sure how much power i need, and i know it depends on what sub(s) i pick. here's how it stands - i am definately going with 10's, cause thats what fits in my trunk. my car is as solid as a rock (saab 9-3) so it'll need some power to balance the mm6's i've got up front. i like the look of two drivers, but i can work with one if that gives me better sq. it'll definately go in a sealed box, which requires more power. in all, what are your reccommendations for about 1000 watts of high-quality bass (both amps and subs, cost isn't an issue at the moment, i'll ask to downgrade if it's ridiculously out of my price range). or, is 1000 watts too much or too little? thanx for the help.

    the ID sub is $300
    the Zapco amp is $980
    this will be one awesome set up
    if i could redo my system, i would do this, but maybe with the 12 instead of the 10
    i figured, since youre going with one sub, you could get the zapco since itll save you on not having to buy 2 subs
    but there are many more amps out there if you need one cheaper

    do you have links to info about this stuff? cause online dealers tend to say its great, but i can't find an idmax 10 on their site, and zapco won't give up any detailed info on the amp. from what i have found, however, this seems to be a good reccommendation.

    I don't think the ID MAX's come in a size 10. I think it's 12's only.

    i did a quick search of Image Dynamics ID MAX 10 v.3 D4 but came up with nothing
    call ID, other than that, im sure the specs are pretty much similar b/t the 10 and 12

    thanx; running off the assumption that the ten doesn't actually exist, what would you reccommend next? and do you think that it would balance well with my mm6's?

    Personally i love the sound that the diamond audio TDX's reproduce. the 10's have a power handling of 800wrms so here's two possibalities

    1 TDX 10 with dual 2 ohm VC's running off of a US Amps US-1000x for 1000w at 4 ohms.

    2 TDX 10's with dual 4 ohm VC's running off of a US-2000x for 2000w at 4 ohms.

    Either of these will give you incredible sound quality

    the TDX subs retail for about 400 i believe and can be had for 319 from www.speedsound.com they can't sell them from their website due to restrictions from diamond audio but they can ship them from their storefront so you have to email them to set it up and get exact price.
    the same website has the US amps as well, the 2000x is about a grand and the 1000x for about 600. they're better buisness listed so i trust them.

    for exact specs on subs and amps...
    www.diamondaudio.com
    www.usamps.com

    these are probably my two favorite car audio brands ;D
    and as i said the TDX's produce a very clear warm sound :D and they're pretty damn loud too. their 12 had the best sound room performance i've ever heard and it's not easy to sound all that great in a sound room
