I want to try my hand at a ported box for one IDQ12. I built a sealed box a few years ago and it sounds good but I want to see how ported performs. Tried to come up with something in sub box pro but really got lost in winisd. I'll try to link some images from what I did with sub box pro...

I keep seeing these comments about Biden and other stuff and had no idea what was going on. I put the Slow guy on ignore after his first or second comment. Just an idea for the others that don't like useless drama.

thanks. I've heard of taramps but I think it was mentioned an electrical upgrade was pretty much required. I'm trying to find someone local to help me with that but so far, no luck. I'll check into the CT Sounds too. You linked a 10". I'm wondering if one 12" would be sufficient providing I...

That's a good idea. I'll just try to find an amp around 1k or so at 2 ohms. So, the sub would either need to be DVC 4 ohms, or a SVC 1 ohms, right? If so, I see the ssa icon DVC 4 Ohm is out of stock at the moment.

thank you. I can build that. If I were to temporarily use my current 600 watt amp, it is only 2 ohms. So, I am thinking I would need the DVC 4 ohm sub. But if I then upgrade amps, I am assuming I would probably run the amp at 1 ohm which means I would need the DVC 2 ohm sub. Is that...

Yeah, buck designed my current box. I was considering him. I will look into ssa icons. you said they have box specs on their site so I will try to find them also. I think an Amp is going to be the hardest. mounting them in a jeep is kinda a pain. Thats also why I want to stay away from...

Marve_Lous thanks. I didn't catch the 3/8" baffle. I built my current box but it's sealed. Never built a ported box but they don't look terribly difficult. Just been hesitant in case I don't get the port right and go through all of the building for something that still doesn't sound good...

thanks Marve. How about a sundown sa v2 12" sub and a box like this? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075LSTK6L/?tag=caraudiocom-20 I would run it for a month or two and then run some 0 gauge and figure out what amp would be better?

SloRide -Uhhh, thanks but if you know of something, can you specify? Not that I don't believe you but that's the reason I posted. Dang, that Cab amp is huge. I'll have to measure but I don't think I can fit that beast in my Jeep. Great price though. Audiobaun. Jeep Wrangler . I have no done...

I currently have a 5 channel amp (600w on channel 5) pushing an Image Dynamics IDQ12. It sounds pretty good but I always knew my 5 channel amp would be upgraded one day. So, I am trying to figure out a strong amp/sub combo. I can build the box myself as long as it's sealed or a pretty...

thanks for the info. The amp powers front 6.5/tweeter components, rear 6.5 coax's, and a 12" sub. I was pushing it to my "normal" highest level. And it was a kid rock song (don't judge hahah). I did add a new sub about 4-5 months ago and have not touched any settings/gains since then. I...

I have a pioneer 9605 (5-channel) amp. It has three 30 amp fuses on one end. Today, while playing music pretty loud, the music cut out for a second or two. I thought maybe it was a glitch or something. Then about 5 minutes later, it cut out again but didn't come back. Got home and checked...

I'm perfectly fine with a ported box and different sub if you have suggestions.

The amp is 600 watts RMS. I believe max is 1200 watts at 2 ohms. Here's a link to the specs...... Pioneer 9605 I thought I read the P3 prefers ported is why I mentioned it. I'll read up on the Sundown SA 12 . BTW this is a sealed box designed by Buck, built by me so I feel very confident...

From what i have read, the IDQ is best in a sealed box. Thanks. I don't have room for another sub. Upgrading the amp is more than I really want to do but I appreciate the suggestion. SO, going with say, a RF P3, and a ported box wouldn't be a noticeable upgrade in bass? Amp is a 5 channel...
