Everyones Help, What do I do?

Ok so now i am trying to finalize a setup...Whats going to be the best for SPL/daily driving....

1.) Fix my Idmax and have it changed to dual-4ohm and buy another Idmax dual 4 run em with my Viper d1200

2.) Get a single XXX 15

3.) JL 13W7 but probably wouldnt work with my amp since it only does about 675@3ohm so Id need something else,not a big problem //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

4.) 2 JL10W7 (viper should throw 500watts to each, Ive heard that 2 10w7s would beat out a single 13w7 but is 500 enough for em??)

I know most of you guys dont like w7s but without looking at price comparison what do you think, and what amp would I need to power the w7??everyone that owns them LOVES them....I dont know what the hell to do...I need some feedback....

I just got off the phone with a car audio store and he said that the w7 isnt a very good performer //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif He said the top sub being a MTX 9500 Then an Alpine Type X then a w7...is he crazy?? I told him SPL not Sq and he still said the type x beats out the w7...

For SPL

The 9500, W7, TYPE-x

I suggest you get a new amp

So you think the 9500 would be my best bet?? The Idmax I had was loud but not as loud as Id want it...Only thing I can compare to was I used to have Two 12" Type Rs powered off an Alpine MRD-M1005 and that was really loud and loud enough for me...Im almost just jumping back on the boat and getting a type rs but I kinda want something just a step up but is it worth it??

Well now I am kinda back on the Type R track after talking with a buddy of mine,Ive had the R 12s before and they are good price and get loud enough so he says to try a single 15 and if thats not good enough to get 2 15" Rs, I know a single 15 type r is a step down from a w7 but if I went with the w7 Id have to buy a new amp, which Im sure wouldnt be a problem to sell my Viper but do you guys think that it is going to be worth it?? Im just stuck on what to do so my choice now is...Do I keep my amp and get some 15" type rs or do I sell it, buy something new and get a single 13w7..what do you guys think??

buy a new amp and get a 12" new xx or wait for the 15" new xxx to come out by the looks of it it would beat out just about everything you mentioned. just ordered 2 and with shipping it was 1260 so that would mean the direct price is under 600 and everyone was saying that it would be upwards of 650. so its about the same as a w7 but without the weird impedances and looks to be even louder

Hmmm...Thats still alot of cash to shell I dont know what I want to do still...My buddy is still trying to convince me to get the 15" Type Rs....I still have the w7 in the back of my mind but I dunno....
