I cant say that I have heard a g5 but I am a huge boston fan. I have always found bostons to be very musical and easy to blend with a good front stage. I never have ported one tho, A port could give you alittle more balls. I have an IDMax and it is the complete opposite, gobs of bottom end and a rolloff above 50 or 60hz. The Idmax needs good midbass reinforcement to blend and sound controlled. If you were interested in a used one I might be letting mine go. If you havent noticed there is a huge fan base for the RSDC woofers here, and hearing all the hype I am thinking about running a pair.

Ive always loved there coponents then I installed a set of G2 x2 10" in an install I did a while back w a crossfire vr604 amp and I was a little reluctant b4 I was done cause they were the G2's but they amazed me how we'll they sounded. But I got this G5 brand new for $100 and I couldnt pass on it when it was $450 brand new at shops so I built a ported box to Boston specs for it and it sound better than 2 w6v2 I used to have. How much would u want for that IDMAX? I have seen allot on the RSDC sub on here but I jus been a little reluctant cause its the newer gen PG. Dont get me wrong I love PG, plus havent heard a set or 1 but I really want great SQ, but jus the newer stuff hasnt impressed me also Im a believe in when companies first started way bay they all jus stuck to what they started out with (ie; rockford, PG, MTX, & etc did amps, then pioneer, alpine, kenwood did HU, and JL, Boston, infinity, MB quart did speakers) yall know what I mean right. I think they all shoulda jus stuck w that.

I'd venture to say the general consensus among those who've tried the RSdC is that it's the best speaker PG ever made.

i would say buy a RSDc or 2 and never upgrade again

honestly if I got that deal on a g5 I would use it. I would have to have atleast 200 out of my max because I just reconed it. It would probably be in your best interest to use the boston. I have been thinking about replacing my IDmax with a g3 12 and buying a pair of rsdc's to keep for the furture.

You couldn't go wrong with a G3 or G5 subwoofer, especially at that price! I've been a Boston retailer for a little over a year now and have had nothing but great results with both drivers. In fact, I think I'd take a pair of either one of those over Boston's flagship SPG555 unless I was really tight on space in an install.

really dedly?? ive been anxious to hear a 555 cuz ive got a G3 in da closet, and it is a mean lookin' mother. for not bein' their top of the line. since its still brand new, ive been reluctant to try it out.. cuz it wont really fit in my avalanche lol.
