Is this true? What sub do you recommend (12") to go with the ednine?
Please dont tell me to get a 500$ Idmax, although nice id like to get away with a more affordable sub.
what do you recommend.
Wearing the sub out? WTF? Sure you will "waste" some of the amps capabilities because they are pretty underrated, but you wont be damaging the sub if you know how to tune in the amp.
I am assuming that you have the nine.2x which does 600 x 1 @ 4Ohm. An IDMAX would be nice. Ive always wanted that sub. But the
eD 13ov.2 will also match up nicely for $200.
