focal performance comp. 6.5 and tweet
forcal acess 6x9
both powered by infinity 475a 4 chann
then 2 alpine type r 12s in a ported box
powered by alpine mrp-m1000 @ 1ohm

im looking in one sub eith a 12, 13.5 or 15 i have it narrowed down between jl 13.5w6v2, jl 12w7 or image dynamics idmax v4 12 or 15

i know there are some audio people that could help me out im leaning toward the image but open to opinions and other options

Im starting to lean more towards SQ my self.. This past weekend I heard a incriminator audio flatline 12 and D A M N did that thing sound sooooooo good!! Box was tuned to the cars cabin gain and the guy himself is a SQ guy. System is tuned and tweaked very good but that sub is definitely impressive! Do yourself a favor and look into this sub. :-)

Is it an older style or an newer one..???

I got a buddy who is a incriminator audio dealer. Lol

Seems like IA hasnt updated anything since 2010 looks like the death row would be more what I'm looking for so that leaves AA havok, ID idmax and IA death row

The death row is a sick sub but the lethal injection is the SQL sub to what I've seen in testing.

my old friend used to sell IA i bought 2 subs off him and those were the best subs i ever had

Yeah name doesn't mean anything just quality

Name doesn't even mean quality. Look at kicker...huge name subs sound like complete garbage. Sony..huge name subs are sold by Walmart and target and sound 10x worse than a kicker.

The underground/non mainstream brands didn't find a new way to do it, but they did find a way to make it better.

I ment names mean nothing....only quality means something

Oops. Read it wrong. My bad haha

Also found out ascendant audio is owned by scott atwater who owns fi and previous owner of re

dude if i was you i would go with image dynamic. way beter sound quality and spl. my buddy has 2 each have there own ported chamber and running on a hifonics 1200d mono block at 1 ohm and ****s flexing his windshield in an 02 monte carlo ss. and lilmidge12 has a loud ass setup. i tuned his amp for him and he ran it at 4 ohms which i told him to do 1 ohm an he turned amp up higher and f**ked the coil lol. now we put it at 1 ohm and the sub is louder but cuts out.

totally agree.. i got sum cvx 12s for 100 and im beating those for a few weeks and im running them on a audioque 1200d at 1 ohm and its by far the best amp ive ever touched and ive had everything from kicker to rockford to jl audio to hifonics.. im done with mainstream.. im going to run either Nightshade 12s or Btl 12s

it dont cut out no more...turned the input level down and it all good now
