I've read a few articles on these amps and have seen that there are a
few members that have used Memphis products before.
Could some of our members reply ( ie: el dudinero) as to the quality of these amps.
Are they very efficient? Sound quality? etc...
I have been looking at the Memphis Belle(75Wx4, 1100WX1). It seems to suit what I would want in my sedan.
I know JL makes a 500/5 channel amp. How is it in comparison to the Memphis Belle?

Thanks,

Bill

 

i had a memphis HC-50 in the past. i really liked it. i had 4 12s all run in parallel at 2 ohms each at one point and it never had a problem.

as far as the particular amp you are talking about i dont know anything about it, but i liked my hc that i had.

 

What kind of speakers/subs are you planning on using?

 

BigSash,

I'm just starting to plan a system for my sedan. I'm in the very early stages so I thought about looking at some 5 channel amps to start with.

As for speakers,a single J/L 10W6 or 12W6 would be the way to go for me for a sub.

Component wise, nothing in the rear for now, I would want to see how the imaging up front would be like without rear fill. Maybe a set of dedicated mid's later on.

I've looked on the internet at Boston's,, DLS', J/L, MB Quarts( too bright some say), Swiss Audio, Polk, and some others. I have yet to "audition them". Its hard to find certain dealers of these products in Toronto.

Dynamatting the doors and trunk for sure.

Toronto is one of my favorite cities in the world. I have lots of family there.

What kind of music do you listen to? you gonna do the 4080 box?

 

I listen to groups like Rush, Boston, Yes, Pink Floyd, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai,
lots of progressive stuff.

I've looked into the 4080 box. Its a great product but I don't think I could put a 12" J/L into it. I know a 10" will fit so maybe a custom box would be the way to go for what I want. My sedan is a 2003, so there is a fittment issue with the bigger sub box.

Yes, Toronto is a great place. I'm glad that I live here.

The G35 Toronto chapter is a great bunch of guys and gals. I'm glad to be a member at G35 Driver.

are you familiar with image dynamics subs? for the type of music you listen to they may be better. But I am a loyal advocate.

If i were going with a one sub set up i would def. grab the 4080 box and find a sub that fits, unless you are planning on doing something more showy

 

I've heard of them( Image Dynamics) before.
What is the difference between the J/L's and their brand of sub?

My system would not be for show but I want very good sound quality.

start here:

http://www.cardomain.com/brand?id=JL...m/brand?id=JLA

read the comparison of the 12w7 and the IDMAXv.3.

then goto imagedynamicsusa.com and check out their tech sheets.

 

http://www.imagedynamicsusa.com/prod...idmax&type=sub

 

you would be happy with the IDQ 12

 

and even happier with an idq10v3 in the 4080 box. I picked up a used 10v3 for like $70 on elitecaraudio.com. Perfect setup esp. for the music you are into.

 

nice. yeah they are reasonably priced brand new @ cardomain, and you get a good warranty. ID's service & support is A++++

I have a set of IDQ 12's that are like 7years old. I sent them in last month out of warranty and they came back better than new! it was out of warranty so for reconing and everything it was $75.00 a piece (including shipping) but so well worth the money.

I also have a set of regular ID12's (their entry level sub). Overall they get louder but don't have the definition of the Q's. The Qs are great I don't think I would mess with anything else.

 

I have the same question as the thread starter, but the question is about AUDISON AMPS? Has anyone used them be4, I saw them at Tweeter and the are even more expensive than JL audio (mrsp)

 

htn,

I know inTgr8r uses an Audison SRx5 amp in his sedan. He loves it!!!
