my doors are fully deadend and have been running the cdt es-620's in my truck for 3 weeks with constant play and i still dont see alot of midbass. hell my infinity kappa perfects have more midbass!!! i researched the forums about which components were best for metal and the cdt's got the highest vote. i dont see how,they have great mid range but lack on low end drop tune guitar. i want to feel the guitar!!!

i just found out this sub has a subsonic filter set with chips tuned at certain frequencies. i dont know what mine is but apparently it's affecting my lowend responce from my subs. an installer told me spl competitors use these chips to keep from blowing their subs when usu=ing ported encloseurs. he said my amps sounds like the filter is set at 40hz-nedds to be set at 25hz. i listen to mostly metal but i like the ability to get low with certain synthetic beats(808). im using a dqx as my sound processor- i have my pmf set at 20 and my mid/low at 90 i just cant think of anything else to cure my lowend blues. im using 2 idq12's in a sealed 1.8 cubic box in the back of a 2003 S-10 ext.cab

the ones i have they dont make any more-this summer id is coming out with the new idq6 and idq8. also id hasn't made the idq8 in several years.thats why when people see them on ebay they jump all over them.trust me the id8 and idq6 are dedicated midbass drivers.heres a link-please tell me what the frame says on the bottom. http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/roguewarrior...bd4.jpg&.src=ph

i already have them in a baffle!!!! you couldnt fit them in my door without the baffles. the cdt's play loud and distort distort at high volume levels and provide more midbass than most-lacking on the lower drop tune guitar notes. i dont hear that low end ring of the guitar-should've just went with idq8's and cd-2 neo horns in the first place. i had wishful thinking there actually was a component out there that could handle the aggressive tunes i listen to-guess not

brahma 10"s-4 of them in a downfire box in a s-10!!!!!!!!!!

good amp want sell it now-strong!!!

you want get those iridiums for under $500.00!!! they go for about 750 for the iridium 6.3- 3 way for dls is the only way to go. hey what kind of music do you listen?

i have a 2 idq8's laying around-i've always wanted to run horns with those. problem is those id cd-2 neo horns are $800.00!!! i dont have room at all in my kicks(2003 S-10) to run a 3 way. well i could run a shallow 3"/4" mid in the side kicks but i've been told the idq8's and cd-2 neo's is all i need. i listen to metal and i've always dreamed of a car sounding like a P.A or a killer home audio system. think the idq8's and cd-2 neos will get me there? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Idq is a subwoofer. IT's better left as that and not a midbass driver. DO like Effendi suggested and find a DEDICATED midbass. And get one that is tailored to your application. Just becuase a door is fully deadened means nothing in terms of how a driver is going to respond. I feel something is lacking in your installation of them. Perhaps you have them out of phase? Perhaps they are not fully sealed from front to back? Perhaps your crossover points are screwy? Why don't you give us some more info on your setup? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> idq8's subwoofers? lets see turn the speaker upside down and read the label-" midbass driver". i have a S-10 the only way you run kicks in my truck is to remove the parking brake-whick is stupid. also i have my cdt's in a very good baffle(birch and resin) the cdt's just aren't good for metal-i also read on oppions.com about the speakers not sounded good for metal. of course i read this after i bought the damn things. for what i listen to they just want work for me.

i want my car to sound like some good cerwin vega house loud speakers. my buddy has some old cerwin vega floor speakers(1 15" 6" mid,and tweet) and those speakers have killer midbass and loend. i want to duplicate that sound in my truck. im also sick of having to crank my system to make it sound good

i like the mid range but there is something lacking. im sure these components would sound gret for jazz or classical,but im looking foe something aggressive. i guess i got to blow 800 dollars on some neo horns and pair them up with my idq8's. im sick of buying components and being disappointed

haha just kidding- got refered reading up on different forums and came across this one. so far so good. hope i can help as much as i need to learn. tired of paying shops to work on my car that i should be doing.

you must have dial up if you cant listen to it-try again

think i should cram her in the cab of MY truck to get better bass response? http://personals.yahoo.com/pm/personals-1057514624-030793

i have two idq12's in a 1.7 cubic sealed box powered by one dls A6(875@2ohm-1200@1ohm). i listen to mostly metal so i need the sub to be able to keep up with the fast double kick-drum. the problem with my set-up is i can keep up with the beat but lack lowend. i took out my xtant 1000/1 think it was the subsonic filter frequency blocking low notes. it must be the box- what is the best application for a truck

im gonna call a xtant dealer and ask about it-in the mean time im gonna install my dls A6 and test it out. A6 is rated at 875@2ohm and 1200@1ohm. my idqs are in a 2ohm load and the their rated at 350 rms. i never heard this so i see what it can do

im running two idq12"s svc 2ohm sealed(1.8 cubic) powered by one xtant 1000/1. the subs are very responsive but tend to lack low end. i listen to mainly metal-tool,korn,slayer. some of their stuff has low thump that my subs are not picking up. these subs are in the back of S-10 ext. cab-the box sealed has the subs facing up toward the roof. i dont have room to run booth subs ported-any other types of box designs or eq settings i should consider? polyfill? i used to run 2 10" mtx 8000 in a downfire box for that truck and i got more lowend and louder bass from that set-up than my current system

Polyfil will help a little. They don't necessarily need a downfiring enclosure. You will have to play around to see what works best in the vehicle. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> think i should try a ported box?

so what you're trying to say is i need to put those idq12's in a downfire box? polyfill?

just posted a new topic in subwoofers/speaker-check it out
