anyone near Chicago?

Sure. Are there any box building gurus on here willing to help me design the best box? I have woodworking skills, but have never designed and built a sub box before.

All ready ordered the PG sub. With the $100 saved I also ordered a set of PG RSD5CS Components and a Phoenix Gold 75x2 amp to power them. This should be a nice upgrade for $200!! Now I have to get everything else to make this setup work (sound deadener, speaker wires, RCAs) and build the box and baffles for the components.

Going with the Phoenix Gold RSDC122, as its only $80 shipped from Amazon right now!!!

OK, so are you suggesting that my eD Nine.2 will be able to properly power a IA LI? I really like the looks of this sub and read some great reviews online. I want to have it as my daily used sub.

What info you need? Car is a Scion tC and it will be going under the hatch. Set up is currently Eclipse CD-5000 deck, Stock front speakers (crossed over from HU), Elemental Designs Nine.2 amp, and the blown Kenwood sub. I am planning on building a new box based on whatever sub I choose. I just want a sub that will provide good SQ to fill the lows, as I listen to rap/hip hop. Obviously SPL isn't my focus or Id just get a new amp and sub combo, but I just do not want to spend that kind of cash. My price range for the sub is $200-$250 max. I may decide to upgrade the door speakers eventually, but I had been pretty happy with my previous (budget) set up. Since the woofer blew, I need to replace it and want to be sure I get the most bang with my current power. The IA LI looks great, but is a 600 watt sub, how would it perform off my 400 watt amp? The FI SSD is an 800 watt sub, so it would be severely underpowered. Again Thanks for any help that you provide!

Hi all, I blew my old POS Kenwood after 3.5 years of beating the crap out of it, so its time for a new sub. My amp is a eD Nine.2 giving 400x1 @4 ohms or 200x2 @2 ohms. I need help choosing a new woofer that will work for my set up. I will be building a new box so ported vs sealed does not matter. Price is up to $250 for the sub. I would like to focus on SQ, but would like a lil SPL. I listen to hip hip/rap music so I need some deep bass fill to keep me happy. So far I am looking at the Image Dynamics IDQ, the Diamond Audio D3 and also the Sound Splinter RL-i. What are your thoughts on these subs? Are the others that you would recommend? Thanks in advance for any help!!

How about in a Scion tC? Would that be the same as a SUV even though the glass is angled?
