2 Infinity 12DVQ or 2 JL 10W6V2 ??? Which will have best SQ and SPL???

Can i use the amp below with a Parellel for each sub on each channel??? Since both types of subs are DVC?? Got any other Subs that will beat this one or will work better with these subs??? I am open to all opinions and suggestions...

Ok here's the amp...

Wow......this is a close one......I think they both would sound awesome, but I would go with the Infinity. 1st.....it matches your other speaker components, and 2nd....I love 12's. They go LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif

Yea that is a tuff one,W6 are just awsome soundin subs,so the would take the win in sub,But I am sure that the infinitys have more output

I'd probably vote for the Perfect 12"s over the W3v2 10"s too. Power-handling may be an issue. Looks like that amp may have the muscle to blow either (~400 W RMS for each woof you mentioned). Just set your gain right and you should be golden.

For extremely small enclosures, better power-handling, great SQ and SPL, and a nice flat response curve, you may also consider the Adire Brahma woofs if you can find them.

I had a single 12Vq in 2.25cf tuned to 28Hz with 424W...all I can say is wow. It was a very good SQ driver. Very clean sound.

infinities will most likely sound as good and get louder because they are 12's...

i'm a fan of infinity, but this is truely an honest opinion

Thanks for the response... looks like i might stick with the VQ's for the money also //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif i can get 2 for the price of 1 W6!!! but what kind of amp should i geT??? the subs will go with 2ohm load if i hook each one up parallel on 1 channel each with a 2 channel amp correct??? so i was thinking b/c im short on cash i wouldnt be able to get a PPI 2400.2 but i was thinking of going with a Soundstream TRA1400.2 or a Soundstream REF1600.2... how would that go you think??? specs are at http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductList.aspx?CategoryID=2&ManufacturerID=642

Man, for that kinda' money, I wouldn't hesitate to go with this instead (Mmats D1500.1) -- you'd parallel all your VC's for 1 Ohm final

I absolutely love my Mmats D3000.1 amp, and will likely hang on to it for many, many years, always powering my subs, no matter what system I'm running at the time. I wish I had done it a decade ago.

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut.... you said you're on a tight budget. Mmats, Zapco, US Amps, Memphis, etc. are not "budget" kinda' amps. All you really need is a way to get ~400 real RMS Watts to each of your woofs (they can't handle much more -- maybe up to 500 in a tight sealed enclosure with no amp clipping whatsoever). You may want to look at bang-for-the-buck solutions from Hifonics. Their XX lineup seems nice (although large). That said, there are a huge number of amps that will be great for what you need.

Lood guck in the quest.

Here ya' go. Something to consider for 1kW @ 1 Ohm real, not-over-rated power for $380. In fact, based on bench tests on this guy's siblings, the power-rating is likely under-rated by a notable amount. Class D efficiency, subsonic filter, OK crossover, phase control, professional industrial looks, reliable, clean/uncolored power. It may be hard to beat the MB Quart RAA1000 for under $400 (may be cheaper elsewhere too, since it's discontinued).

this is just one example of very many that may fit the bill.
