Image Dynamics IDQ12 D2 V.4

These subs hit the lows I've been looking for

I have a Honda Ridgeline pickup and built my own seals box to fit under the back seat I built it as large as I could and the subs are facing up with about an inch to spare. I've tried pioneer champs, kicker cvt, fosgate p2, all hit hard but didn't hit the bottom notes the way I had hoped. I know airspace was a problem at only .8 cf per 12" sub but I guess I was optomistic and hoped for the best. After I blew the pioneers, I decided to try out the Idq's after some research. These things perform twice as well as the past woofers and sound amazing at all volume levels. They get low too. I know they would even be better in a larger box. i upgraded my amp to old school mmats pushing 1400rms at 2 ohms. I've been looking for a larger alternator to keep up with the dimming lights. It's been over a year of pounding and no trouble yet. Sonic was great as they always are.

Awesome Subwoofer

Great for those seeking the Sound Quality of a subwoofer with clean tight response. Not for Bass Heads. Sound quality is superb...

Great Buy

I haven't installed these yet, I'm building a custom amp rack and sub box in my Ram 1500 so they still sit in the other room, but the price I got on these subs for was unmatched anywhere else and I think they came straight from Image Dynamics. This has been one of many orders I have made with Sonic and I've been satisfied every time.

Awesome woofer

Sound quality is amazing on these things, I had to run it in a 0.5 cubic foot box, and even in that horrible box it still pounded. Sonic Electronix states that the RMS is 750, but truly it is RMS 500. It can be ran up to 750, but can be dangerous and should only be ran in a proper box at a power level that high. I have owned this sub for 6 months and plan on buying another. They're expensive but great!

Excellent sound quality

It's been a while since I've had an aftermarket sub in a car and I have to say this is the best I've ever owned. Paired with an Image Dynamics Q600.1 setup at 1 ohm, performance is excellent and I haven't really taken the time to tune it yet. Sound quality is great. I haven't given it a full 5 stars on durability because I haven't really pushed it yet. The last thing I want to do is rattle my car to pieces and tick off my neighbors. Looks wise, too, it is a nice and subtle looking but I have it mounted behind a grill in a Q logic box so you can't even really see it.

FINALLY a sub that can handle EDM!

This thing POUNDS. I had tried two different brands and models of subs before the IDQ12. I listen to various forms of electronic music coupled with some hip hop and heavy metal. Hip hop and heavy metal always worked on the others but on EDM plays both subs would clip when the notes were either too deep or the bass note too long. The IDQ took all that away. Not only is thing LOUD but it's sharp! It can hit the deepest notes without skipping a beat. This sub has convinced me that Image Dynamics is the best value for the money if you're going for SQ.

Tight, Clean

I went from a Infinity 120.9w which is also a SQ sub to the IDQ12. It's super tight and clean. Probably the tightest sub I've owned and I've had quite a few. Also, it hits the lows pretty well. The price is a bit expensive but it's worth it and made in the U.S.A. so you get what you pay for. It's a heavy sub with a substantial magnet. Cost me about a hundred more than my Infinity Kappa, but I'd buy again, it's worth it, I'm happy. Never had a sub where I could hear the notes so clearly. It's a fast, hard-hitting sub with no flatulence in a sealed 1 cu ft box. One thing I would say is that it is definitely a sound quality sub, so if you're looking for SPL, maybe not for you, but if you like clarity, get it!

in all my years nothing comes close

in all my years experimenting with sub woofers this is hands down the cleanest flattest most breathtaking musical sub woofer i have ever owned and herd i find myself taking longer drives and making excuses to listen to it because its that incredible throw it in 1.2 cubes after displacement ans enjoy heaven!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great Sub

Running a 850 Zapco amp and this sub is flawless. Can hit those low frequencies well and cranks out a ton of power with ease. Great sub especially for the money. I would've never guessed the results I got from this sub. Beyond impressed!
