I only know of one person using a idq10v3 that won finals. They do sound good but you need 3-4 to get enogh output to satisfy your inner crave....
Gumby - I'm looking for sealed application in either a 10 or 12 size! At a final 2ohm reading so I can get the most out of my amp!

I'll suggest an Eclipse SW8200, but it's only single 4 ohm.

for the first time i did a ported box. like you i crossed it very low. l have always gone sealed. what a huge difference, l could finally get my pant leg to shake with 1 sub, i plan to go with 2.

you refered to sq winners, most are sponsored so thier stuff is what they got hooked up with. matching the amp and box to the sub is more important than which sub of the month to choose.

aiming a sub is unnessesary at a low x over. build a super strong box to start and go from there.

Picked up a Focal K2 27KX 11". The box will be built out of 1" MDF. planing to put it in a .80 to 1.00 cu box.

Looking forward to installing it in FEB. Cheers Thanks everyone for your input!
