Audiophile/Spl Sub Advice Needed ASAP!!
#1
![Question](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Wassup everyone i usually dont need advice or help in this department but recently i found myself to be a little overwhelmed with my choices, a few days ago i noticed that one of the terminals on my image dynamics idmax 12d2 detached itself from the coil, so its a one coil wonder at the moment and instead of getting it reconed or buying a recone kit i decided its time to try another brand of sub, some of the subs ive gone through and in no kind of order are,
jl 12w6 (first version)
oz audio 300h and oz audio 300l (very old school for those who remember)
infinity kappa perfect 12dvq
mtx 8500 and 9500 12
rockford fosgate power 3 12 (very first power series sub)
infinity beta 10 and beta 12 (also very old school)
pioneer impp 12 and premier impp 12 (old school)
and ect, ect, ect..
So with that being said i need a new sub, im looking for something that can get down as well as play a pretty flat response when it needs to, the box im using is a 1.25 cube sealed enclosure and ill have 1000 real rms watts going to it, so with those specs in mind im looking into my options and would love to hear what other people have to offer as far as advice in a sub decision, thanx for everyones help in advance and thanx for bearing with the long read

Those sundowns u heard were in a poorly designed box. The sa is a far superior woofer in sq than the whole ID line(tons of reviews to back this up on diyma) and they crap all over em in spl.
The jbl is probably the perfect blend between sq and spl..the funky ohm loads are usually a deal breaker, though.
In your case, i'd consider the sundown sa's or the ssa icons/dcons
either 2 10's, 2 12's, or a couple 8's
