Getting started
I dropped the cash on a 500-5 today. I want to do a ten inch sub i believe. Still undecided on components?? I think i'm gonna do a a slim line sub. (Save as much space as possible)
any suggestions would be appreciated. |
What is your budget, what do you listen to? Also what are you going to use to power your components? All that can help me help you find a good set of components. I would say you could go with either a 10 inch or a 12. Both will sound good with a z enclosure.

I'm using an IDQ10 in a Zenclosure. Check my pictures to see how much space it takes up. I definitely recommend both of these products, the sub sounds absolutely amazing. Depending on your music, any more than the 1 10" might be overkill.
For the components, I went with Focal, but there are plenty of good speakers out there to choose from. Like Big said, what's your budget? There will be a completely different field to choose from if you're looking at $150 instead of $500 or $2000. |
I am using the JL 12w6v2 in a Z Enclosure. 500 watts to the sub.
Slams hard and clean, Rock/Rap/Country 2fast4thelaw has a the 13"JL slimline sub I believe in a custom box. Check his threads on his system. Plus there are loads of Youtube videos of different subs out there. Having had a 10" sub ( Boston g2) in the 350Z the 12"JL hits much harder in my 370 and has better sound. If you have more cash go to a 1000 watts and get the 12W7. Definitely go with a 12" if you go with 1 sub Some say JL is overpriced, well so are Italian sportscars, and I wouldn't mind owning one of them, or you could buy a Ford Focus, both will get you from point A to point B |
I second the ID Q subs they absolutely smoke the JL's. "sorry slik but they are overpriced IMO" They get my vote and I personally had one.

So I think a single 10" can be plenty for some, but i can see how others may want more bass. |
I had the 12 inch ID Q sub and it was great either 10 or 12 will be solid and tight from Image dynamics.

Not a chance bro:stirthepot: Plus the guy is actually looking for a slim design. Hopefully 2fast will chime in. |
LOL everyone has opinions. (^_^) And they do
|
I know my IDQ10 beats out a previous W6 I had a while back (7+ years). Haven't read anything but negative stuff about the W7's and I've never done any of the research on any of the slim subs.

"What are using to power the componenets" 500-5. I have not made up mind on box , really want to save space. May have to get custom box made in spare well. So i'm sure it will have to be slim line. |
I listen to all kinds of music probably 85% rap. but i'm not a base head , i like tight base. I don't want to rattle the cars next to me.
My truck is dynomatted !! i'm gonna do the same to the z. |
So your looking for a full system?
If you have no budget you can put together a killer system. For speakers I would look at image dynamics xs, rainbow, and polk sr series. Amps higher end ones are audison and zapco. But as you said you already have one. Subs imaged dynamics Q series now because you listen to rap I recommend a 12 inch as it will go deeper and lower. Now I am being sort of open to the selection as I have said a lot about choices in previous threads. Also if I had a actual budget to go on I could help you more. The sub boxes I recommend looking at z enclosures as they can go in and out easily and no modifications are needed. If you would like a more detailed selection just ask. "little busy tonight that is another reason I have not went into details" |

Just get a good set of components and DONT skimp! Get some Focal's in those doors and you will have one killer system. |
