I can haz bass?

I loved my IDQ V2's, they sound f-ing good! Had a pair with some IDQ Chameleon components upfront (2 ohms), no rear speakers. 150x4 wrms was plenty loud but still VERY clean...but the car had also about 200sq.ft of sound deadening lol

So, just in case anyone was interested, I went ahead and placed an order on my system.

I ended up going with an IDQ12 v.3 D4 paired with an Alpine MRP-M500 amp. I think it should go well together, the box included. I can't wait to get everything together and installed. I don't believe I have seen anyone with installed pics just yet of their Luke boxes, but I promise you I'll get mine up as soon as possible.

I just ordered an IDQ10v3d2 for my luke box. We actually designed the box for an IDmax I have but it turned out being too deep. I need to send it in for repair anyway so I just opted for a new sub. Mine will be here next week. I can't wait to drop it in.

The idq's aren't real deep you should be fine. Mine IDMAX was like 7.6, the idq is like 5.5

Sweet! Thanks for the reassurance. I figured it should fit in there just right. The top I believe was 7 5/8" deep and the bottom was 12". With the sub itself being 5.8" I think there should be more than enough room. I just wasn't positive on the top depth at first.

I'll have mine installed on thursday.

Mine should be delivered to my house tomorrow, so hopefully I can start on the install then. I can't wait to pleasure myself to the sound of rattling interior trim pieces!

I never really had much trouble with that. the e30 is pretty good as far as rattles. double sided tape cures most stuff. I used the 3m stuff in a few spots. Its sticky as hell though.

My sub arrived today as well. I'm probably going to install it tonight at some point. There are UEFA soccer games on until 7 so my hands are tied.

Did you ever get this behemoth installed in your e30?

I spent a good bit of yesterday working out the kinks and getting this right. I had totally neglected to think about the fact that I still had the trunk tar in there, but removal was a cinch for the most part.

Note to self, when using hole saw on sheet metal, wear long sleeve shirts. Tiny little specks and shards of metal being flung and sticking to your skin isn't pleasant. Although, I did manage to fuck up the holes, I will be giving it another go tomorrow and hopefully getting it all sorted out before the days end.

Right now, the box is loaded with the IDQ sub, and it is mounted/secured to the back seat panel. I need to make some minor adjustments to the port holes and then and only then can I say I'm finished. I just wanna hear the damn thing already!

BTW, big ups to Luke for his long distance and quite superb technical support. Quite the talker this one is :)

nice setup.

[DrMcDave]

Mine is in and sounds incredible. I need to build an enclosure for my mids though. I'm missing some frequencies in the lower vocal range.

PICS, nukka, pics.

my gf came back in town from her trip so I've somwhow managed to lose the amount of free time I had before.

I had a slight miscalculation with the port holes, so some minor adjustment needs to be made which I have yet to do. I think I can try to wrap things up tonight. I do have a good number of pics to come though. ;)

Its in but not presentable for pics yet.

I'm glad you did not get the type R. I had some and was not impressed. The W6 is definitely a better sub. I'm out of the loop and don't know much about all the new brands. That and i would never pay more then $100 for a woofer again. I've had too many systems stolen to invest big bucks again. I just rock whatever i have laying around the garage now.
