12's...RE-MX, RE-XXX, IDMax, TC-3000? For SQL

[Intercooler 10+ year member]

Looks like I may finally have the last Focal CV-690 in the Country coming my way so since the shop will have my car in to do some work I am thinking of upgrading. I still want => SQ than my SE-12 but more pop! I can't and won't spring for $1000 XXX or MX so I am looking used for those two. Supposedly they hit good and play good. I had my chance for an MX about a month ago but wasn't serious enough to pull the trigger. I can get a new IDMax 12" for about $400 and reading some of the threads on here TC Sounds must have a deal somewhere on a TC-3000. What ever one I end up with has to be at home in a 1.5 cu.ft. box or less or I will have trunk fitment problems. Any of these get a big nod over the others? I know new is more appealing than used but it is what it is. Any other suggestions I may be overlooking for a noticeable upgrade

Stereo Integrity Mag, I almost bought MX. Perfectly at home in 1.0-1.2 sealed with 1000 watts and sounds delicious. I went ported with mine, but have heard one sealed and its niiice

MX for $400 and IDMax for $275? Send me to where I can pick these up!

What is the best of the pieces listed?

 

[Intercooler 10+ year member]

Xmax wise:

XXX = 54mm

IDMax = 25mm

MX= 24mm

TC=???

The XXX looks like a beast but I don't know which one has better SQ?

what about an FI ssd, or BL 12 sounds good sealed just depends on how much power youre lookin at runinn

 

[Intercooler 10+ year member]

I will run what ever it takes. I just have a certain box size to consider and of course not wanting to spend a ton on something that could be taken fairly easily. What is the Xmax and more importantly SQ like of those two? Optimum box size 1.5 cubes for those?

 

[Dmillz224 10+ year member]

the BL needs a little more room but the ssd will sound great in a 1.5 sealed box rms 800,xmax 21 mm, you can even customize it with a flatwind coil for more power handling or a copper coil for more low's can't beat it for under $200

0.5-1.0 cu.ft, $295 new, 30mm Xmax and darn good looking to boot! I just spoke with a sales guy about this one. I can't get the deals you guys do on the others so this may be my option! It has more excursion than all the others and will take some pretty serious power:

Xmax doesnt really matter that much, especially on a sealed box. In a sealed application your sub will not see max Xmax in most cases. the Tc 3000 is a hell of a nice woofer, and is supposed to sound great sealed

i would go with the TC-3k
