Help on deciding which sub to get

[Darren5531 10+ year member]

Hey Im new to the forum and I was just wanting your opions on what sub I should get. I mostly listen to rock but will also listen to some rap to get a really good bump out of the sub. Im going to be pushing the sub with a Kenwood kac-729s bridged to one channel at 4-ohms I think. Should be pushing around 300w rms or at least I hope so. Will be using this amp for a couple months till I have more money and I will upgrade to something better. Im looking at getting a diamond audio D6, Image dynamics IDQ12, Alpine x, jl audio w6 v2, Infinity Kappa Perfect, and found a Jl audio w3 used in a nice box for 180. Mostly trying to decide between the D6 and the IDQ. All the subs are in the 12" version. What do you guys think? Looking for mostly SQ but also could really hit if I wanted it to. Would put into a sealed box as big as it needed to be. Have a large trunk in a 2000 Nissan Altima. What would you guys think I should get? Could any of these out pound 2 12" audiobahns and RF punches powered well in vented boxes?

THANKS for the help and time,

Darren

i got the 10" version of the D6. its very touchy with enclosures, (it will act very different enclosure to enclosure) it likes small sealed, or small vented (with a huuuge port) ive been messin around with mine, and its a real neat sub. feels very indestructable, and weighs in at 23 lbs for the 10" model. it can handle 800 rms in a small sealed (.625) or 600 in a small vented to ~35 hz. for 150 on ebay, it aint a killer on the wallet either. best of luck

Anybody have an opion on this? leaning towards the IDQ12 in a larger sealed box. Ive also heard amazing things about the Alpine X. I don't really want to spend 250 bucks on a amazing sub when the rest of my components and wiring is not up to par. Will one IDQ12 get loud? Out pound 2 flame q's or 2 punches? Do you think I would be happy with this or should I save some more money and buy a w6v2?

Please help
