finally starting to piece together my system

Great choice! That is what I am using on my id xs69 set. You will not notice the difference in output between the 50.4 and the cadence. You will however notice the quality!

I have a problem with mine right now. It is faily common. Because the magnet is so powerful it actually sucked in some metal burs and gives the speaker a scratchy sound to it. I need to clean them. The get rediculously loud off 150 watts let me just put it that way to you. Rock and metal is retarded on them!

was just looking at the specs on my kicker zx1000.1 and it says it has 0-18db variable bass boost @ 40hz.. my question is if i wanted to put my IDQs in a low tuned(28hz) ported box would this cause problems?

Bass boost will always cause problems reguardless. DO NOT TURN ON THE BASS BOOST. It will destroy all of your equipment.

Here is some information to back that up. In order to increase by 3db, you theoretically need to double the output power of the amp. So say you have your gains set so you are producing 1000 watts rms without the bass boost and then you increase the bass boost to just 3db, the amp will try to output 2000 watts of power and thus clip like crazy and will overheat if not blow the amplifier.

The only way to safely run bass boost is if you turn your gains wayyy down. But why would you want to do that? Then the only note that will be loud is 40hz.

Bottom line, forget the boost!

ok i got it.. thanks for clearing that up.. just started a new post on this because i didnt know if anyone would make it back to this post

Yea I don't use the bass boost. That was the first thing that I heard never to do.

The funny thing is some people ask "then WHY DO THEY PUT BASS BOOST ON THE AMP!"

and the usual response is because it is a marketing gimmick. If they didn't have it, normal consumers wouldn't buy it without it.

may be a change in plans... thinking of selling my IDQs and kicker amp and getting 2 SA-8s tuned to 28-30hz and powered by a sundown sae 1200.. like the idea of 8s so i can show ppl wat they can do. no one around here has 8s

you are going to loose A LOT of output

i know, my dads entry level 10" kickers in a sealed box off of 250w ea has enough output so i think 2 8s ported off of 600ea should be enough.. going for more sound quality that spl.. also want to go with the same brand amps(sundown) and the IDQs cant hook up to 1 ohm..
