    i have own both 12" alpine type R & 12" idmax in both sealed & ported boxes

    type R is a "all-rounder" subs that can play both low & high bass well depending on the enclosure & how u set ur lpf & ssf

    the idmax will murder the type R in every way meaning both sq & output

    idmax : if u want it loud , it loves a large ported box (between 2.5-2.75cut) tuned high 20s to low 30z & a clean true 1000wrms is perfect for it

    idmax also sounds great in a sealed box if u want it that way for a SQ applications but output is alot lower sealed

    hope that helps

    thanks alot that helps a good bit. Ya i love I.D. (my front comps) so i assumed they had a pretty good sub, but just never really heard anything about it. and also would going a lil lower than 2.5, prob round 2.2 ish give or take still be good? i have a 2011 toyota camry and the trunk is pretty big but id like to have at least some space left. my 2.0 box for my alpine was nice, cause i still had some space for luggage. i would prob just get it to be as wide as possible

    and did you have the chrome series or the regular one?

    It really comes down to your definition of "loud", "clean", "sounds good", etc. For example, some people think some systems "sound great" that I find rather abhorrent.

    ya very true. my 12" type R was my first aftermarket sub. i felt it sounded pretty good for what it was. it really complimented by ID 6.5 components up front. so i guess im kinda new to "REALLY" knowing what sounds good. im kinda going by input of what others feel about the subs.

    front components were ran on a sax 125.2, and sub was ran on a saz 1000d

    I personally believe my ssa xcon 12" sounds better in a ported box then my old idmax in a sealed box. but I blew the Idmax and I didnt want to buy a recone for 180. and before the idmax I also had a alpine type r 12" the ssa xcon and idmax are in a whole nother league trust me.

    also recones for a ssa xcon is only like $110 so its much cheaper to recone.

    and how easily did ur Idmax blow?

    good looks on the info guys. ya i love bass but not a nut of it where im looking for just loudness. rather be clean loud bass than just plain loud. So ur saying the Z is more geared towards comp, so would prob not be ideal for daily driver? or could do both but better for comp. and ya im thinking of a SSA 12 also now.

    which one of the SSA subs would be best for a good mix of SQ but can also get loud

    Main goal is sound quality, but still be able to get loud. Nice clean bass. Prob Go ported. Really anything for an upgrade from my type r. And how would you describe all 3 since you said they are not in the same league as each other. I dont know much about any of em

    My 12" R was in a 2.0 tuned to 33 hz. It sounded pretty good

    Great subs, but it really depends what you want out of your sub stage.

    ya true. i like it to be more geared towards SQ but can get loud also. the alpine type R i had isnt the best but Argent Audio built my box and really made it shine for what it was. i listen to all types of music, but the most is rap/hip-hop and club dance type music. i wish argent was still making boxes

    Hey guys i was just wondering what you guys thought of the I.D.MAX-D4 or the I.D.MAX-CRD4? they seem like they are pretty good subs but im not really sure how they would be. I really like I.D., i have some 6.5 components up front and they are amazing. i have them running off of a sax 125.2. But i dont really know anything about their subs. Im in the market to upgrade my Sub. I have a dual 4 12" Alpine type-r running off a Saz 1000d. I really like the Sundown subs, and SSA subs, but want to get some opinions on the I.D. subs if anyone has any experience with them.

    It will be more than the 100.4 but with the wattage increase figured in it's only a small amount of difference dollar to watt. I don't want to spoil it yet... but I think everyone will love the SAX-125.4

    will it be kinda like the sax 125.2? cause i pucking love mine thats powering my front comps, to go along with my sax 1200d for my sub

    Ya id go with a comp set. Esp if later on down the line you wanna amp the front conpnents up and get a new headunit. I got some image dynamics 6.5 running off a sundown125.2 with a kenwood headunit. Shit is nice and gets loud as fuck while still staying super clear

    almost anything is better than stock. id say depending oh how much u want to spend and what you are trying to get, just start with a new headunit and some new front speakers (6x9 im assuming, i dont know whats stock in the vw) it will be much better than stock

    and depending if you just want better, than you could just go with the more known names

    kenwood, alpine, boss, jbl, jvc, rockford fosgate etc.

    if you were willing to spend more, i would say image dynamics cxs62 v. 2 6.5 components. i have them in my car up front powered by a sundown sax 125.2. shit is soooo clear and loud when i play music. they are amazing

    hey yall i got a Kenwood Kdc-Bt945u and im trying to find a replacement part for it. on the face plate where it says kenwood that knob came off and i cant find it. so now it is just hollow there. it still turns and everything but when i have to push it in to select something its kinda of tough to get my finger in there to push it. so im wondering where i could find just the knob or would i have to get a whole new face plate.

    heres a pic of it. the inner knob where it says kenwood is gone.
