i hope you still remember my offer to LBM regarding those subs.it was my bad luck that he had only one .if he had two of them i would have bought them that very moment.
to be honest i dont like the new v3.i would any day pick up a v2 against a v3(i being more of an sq guy).i am yet to hear a sub which blends and dissapear the way v2 does(in that price range).FANTASTIC sub!!!!!
it all depends on once need.just my opinion.
I'm sorry to say you are fully confused.

5. Ground Zero (Radioactive series 12") : One word - P.E.R.F.E.C.T ; Excellent blend of SQ and SPL - S.Q.L. to be precise.

6. Image Dynamics (IDQ) : Going by the reputation, I was inclined on having them as my second priority.. build quality was good.. I powered this sub in a sealed box, through 2 channels bridged off my JBL 75.4 (284 W RMS to a 300 W RMS sub)..the output was very low when compared to the other subs.. It was playing ok nothing much great. There was absolutely no kick just a good low end. When played with the front stage, the over all experience was very bad in the songs which had fast paced music. But was good with songs with long and continuous bass.
Disaapointed.. Rejected.
First of all Panky congrats on your SPL setup. Very sexy looking enclosure that is specially the ports.

Regarding rainbow being laid back can you please tell me which series did you auditioned ? The SAX 265.20 are not at all laid back i can assure that.

Secondly when your were looking for SPL i think you should not have even considered iDQ that too in a sealed box in a SEDAN. Its not a SPL sub.

Some questions:
- Price of JBL mono ?
- In the below pic is that the grounding point ?
- Under the port i can see white PIPE is that the sewerage pipe that is commonly used or something else ?

Firstly it is a SQL setup not a SPL one. So the choices taken by Panky are total justified.

We are not taliking about SAX 265.20 here I think it is the SLC 265.65 NG. So dont jump on your conclusion on your own.

ID clearly mentions....

The IDQ V.2 continues the very sucessful competition record of the original IDQ subwoofers. They feature increased SPL output and significantly smaller enclosure requirements. The all dual voice coil IDQ V.2 series have increased excursion, larger motor structures and higher power handling allowing them to play louder and lower with reduced distortion.

The V.2 series of ultra-low frequency transducers satisfy both the hard-core entusiast and the audio expert with uncolored bass reproduction, impressive dynamics, proper tonal quality and bone crushing SPL.

Maybe we are looking it in a different way.

Some Answers
  • I do not know the price
  • Yes it the grounding point and amp is running very nicely no tripping extra is observed even when played at high volumes.
  • Yes it is the sewer pipe put to a very good use. (I do not understand why people cant take things in a constructive way than a destructive way)

Extruded PVC Drain Pipe. Sandaas Pipe. Whatever you may call it, its correct. We unfortunately cannot afford branded ports which do the same thing (actually lesser things, because if you decide to can the enclosure, you cant use those ports to do your 'sewerage'), and cost a lot more.

And its not under the port. It is the port. The Aluminium top part is just a flared mouth.

This might sound stupid, but i am a noob at this, how do you wire a monoblock to 2 sub's? I am really confused.
and can you let me know what are the dimension of the ported box and the dia/length of the pipe?

Sir the subs are wired in parallel each has a 4 ohms impedance so wiring them in parllel will give 2 ohms, At which the amp give approx 1100 watts.

The dimensions of the ported box will majorly depends on the sub. Which sub do you have ?

[quote=Magma;980205]LBM sir
can you please post the following information which can help us get an idea of how to tune and build a ported box
Box volume ( vb) ?
Port dia chosen ?
Tuning freq ?

also why was the above frequency selected?

also is there a way to decide port placement?
the link that you posted that was highlighted by navinji mentions that the port can be on any face as long as the 1/4 th wavelenght rule is satisfied.
it doesnt say anything about the placement on any face of the box.
Can we place it anywhere on any face?

what yaar raghuji
thoda info do na about the above.(especially the info in bold)
how will i learn if you get angry.
i didnt do anything

The setup looks great. Congrats!!

I am using IDQv2d2 in a 0.7 cuft sealed enclosure powered by an Eclipse mono. The sub gives great SQ, exactly what I wanted. To be precise, I hate boom boom.
I think it is just a matter of ones preference. Anwar, Auto Fusion is also in love with the sub after listening to it.

Sorry bro If I sounded rude. My apologizes first.

Now about the Panky install I used the dimensions which came along the manual of the sub. Rest if you want to make something different I would suggest to try WINisd for the same. It is a FREEWARE and easy to use. But beware the results are not 100 % correct as they are purely theoretically calculations.
