Sub Upgrade Question

[knightwhosaysni 0]

Hey everybody,

Currently Ive got a Image Dynamics ID12v.3 in a 1cuft sealed enclosure powered by and Alpine M500 in my Subaru Impreza. I find myself wanting just bit more impact. Im curious about an IXL 10 in a sealed enclosure... What do you guys think? Could it do it? What kind of power would be needed? 1000watts? Will more power but less cone and less XMAX be able to do it?

Anyway just looking for experience and opinions on this. Thanks!

Any reason specifically sealed?

I went from a 12in driver to the IXL10 and it was good sealed but MUCH better ported, still detailed but with better impact thats for sure. As a plus you can get a decent ported box to be approx 1cube total before ports and the sub so no large boxes!

However the box does need to be built and tuned properly obviously. I've only got mine on about 450wrms @ 4ohm at the moment and its great. So no *real* need for more power.

Jono

Don't disregard that ID just yet. Build a ported box for it and then determine if it isn't enough for you.
