SupahDave 0 Posted May 5, 2009 So heres the deal. Ive been waiting on the IA LI 10s to be released and take advantage of the free enclosure deal. SInce there is no real date to be released yet, im pondering the idea of doing 2x 10" Icons and powering with a SAZ-1500d. Quentin drafted me up a box to suit my space and came up with 2.5ft^3@32hz. My question is, will 750wrms a piece be enough for these to really shine? I currently have a 12" Q in 2ft^3@32 off the same amp. Im looking at changing my setup and going for more output. Does this sound like a reasonable option? I dont want to drop the dough and not be 100% satisfied.Thanks! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aaron Clinton 2,372 Posted May 5, 2009 There are more then a few people who have Icons that run them on less then 500 watts and love their performance. Just because they are ratted for 1000watts, does not mean they need all of it, or even 3/4 of it. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tmax98 3 Posted May 5, 2009 i am currently running the setup you desire, and i am very pleased on how the icons perform! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SupahDave 0 Posted May 5, 2009 thanks for the opinions. Looks like i might go this route unless IA can give me a date of release. A free enclosure is making this very tempting. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SupahDave 0 Posted May 5, 2009 you say that you are pleased with how they perform, but people also say that about 1 12" Q. Generally speaking, will there be a significant improvement in loudness? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Generally speaking, will there be a significant improvement in loudness?I had that same exact set up in my truck for a while and you can ask anyone that heard it they will all tell the same thing. (demo'd to over 100 people) "those are the loudest tens i've ever heard in my life" they all said. It was nuts. They are nuts. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SupahDave 0 Posted May 5, 2009 ive been contemplating the idea of doing 2 10's for a while, just been kinda picky. Didnt want to spend the dough on an impulse buy, so ive been doing some research for the last few months off and on. If these bad boys are as bad as you guys say they are i should be happy with them. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
