Help me pick an SQ woofer

[nabissssco 10+ year member]

I currently have a treo te 12 sealed in 1.3cuft ran by a jbl 600.1 amp. I love the woofer and its been great but I'm thinking perhaps a more sq based sub would work better for me now. I have 600wrms on tap and I want to keep the box I have now so I need advice on sq woofers that will work with that power and box. I listen to all types of music but mainly rock.

I've been thinking a w3, w6, Id sub or something you guys advise.

Ive been wanting to try a JBL GTi, but Im too lazy to look up specs and see if your amp/enclosure match well.

Image Dynamics is what you'll hear about on this forum.

Dynaudio, Rainbow, DLS, Focal and various others offer excellent choices as well...

I have an si bm 12 that I'm not using. They are great sounding subs. Your box/amp would be perfect for it

how much u wanna spend on the sub??

BTW: i like ID subs, and im going to say a 12inch IDq

Incriminator Audio Flatlyne 12 would be great in that box and with that power. I have mine in the same sized box and about he same amount of power.

Holy sh!t, I did not think I would get this many people giving options so soon. I gotta google those subs you guys gave. As far as price the cheaper the better but deff under $300. Ill prob sell my treo to help fund the new sub. I've read great things about id subs but I've yet to hear one. A shop by my place has some though so ill see how they sound as long as they don't have it in some sh!tty prefab bandpass.

6551, How much?

ID12v3 was the best SQ sub I've had. It was mounted on 1.21 cubes sealed and sounded lovely. I liked it much that I bought 2 of their dual 4-ohm models and sold my single DVC 2ohm. A more accurate sub than the JL 12" W6v3 (which I had roughly 1.5 cubes sealed).

Thanks for all the posts guys. I'm not ditching my thread but I've got work so ill have to check in later and google more subs.

If anyone has a sub that they want to trade for my treo let me know?

What about those diyma subs I used to hear about all the time? I forget the model # but it was the one with a few small round magnets with a chrome finish......I think the model wa r12 or something simple like that.

You're thinking of the DIYMA R12. Good subs from what I have read around the internet, although the cone is extremely fragile on it. If you could find a used Mag V4 that is my recommendation.
