Default Subwoofer recommandation?

Hi guys,

Now it's time to upgrade my subs I'm leaning toward JL 12w6, Dynaudio MW190, or IDMAX12 .

My current system:
Eclipse CD8053 w/ indash 6 cd changer.
Dynaudio 240GT (front)
Dynaudio MW160 (rear)
JL 300/4, 500/1
2 JL 12w3

Could some lead me toward right direction? My system goal is SQ not SPL.

Thanks,

Eliminate the word JL and everything looks great.

The JL amps are quite good. I would definatly consider them. I do agree with the previous response ... I'm not a big fan of the subs unless you are going for loud ghetto boom.

Like you said I'm not interested going for loud ghetto boom, what other subs do you guys recommend?

A single JL 12 "DUB"7 in a sealed box. It'll be far from "ghetto boom"

Default IDMAX

I'm pretty sure going to get 12" IDMAX and it is a lot cheaper than getting JL 12w7 but will see!!

And which amp do you guys recommend? I'm considering JL 500/1 or 1000/1.

As I said in another thread, I tried many configurations with a 10W7 in different sealed boxes facing many directions. I also tried a 10W3 ... It still was very peaky/boomy for my musical tastes. This is all a matter of opinion and taste!

I now have an IDQ 12" in the stock location and I dig it. It will hit hard if I want it and its musical. I kept the JL 500/1 amp on it. The IDQ is also 1/3 of the price!

I think I'm gonna put the 10W7 in my home theater sub. That should just about KILL... Can't wait to try it
