IDMAX vs W7 vs XXX

[estyles1985 10+ year member]

I know everyone is going to say xxx but I want to know from people who have heard these subs, not opinion based on opinion. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif I am looking for a 2 sub setup and wondering what differences in spl and sq will be between the 3. I have heard the w7, but no one around here that i know has a xxx or a idmax. Looking to put around 2000 watts to the subs. Really not looking for xxx too hard to find, even when there is one in my own city I cant get it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif . I am looking for 12" subs. Thanks for the input.

Oh God... not another one of these threads.

Since you didn't name a price [range], I'm vouching for the W7.

XXX 18 for U

w7 is poo.

idmax for sq

I retract my statements

I'd take the IDMaxs first, W7's second. They are all going to be pretty comparable in output, within ~1-2db of each other (which isn't a lot to the ear). SQ I'd give the nod to the IDMax's over the W7 and the W7 over the XXX.

So, my choices would be IDMax > W7 > XXX

w7>idmax>XXX

imo.

idmax and W7 are VERY close though, id take either before i took a XXX.

Don't trust the opinion of anyone who says that the W7 is 'poo'.

ive owned 2 13 w7 and i own 2 15 XXX now...

ive choose my w7 over the XXX

ive owned a xxx12, and i considered a idmax, but i dont think i could fit the depth in my truck. i also heard 2 w7 12s on 2 jl 1000/4s in a golf at the nopi nationals. i would go with the w7 if u can get a good price on it

i've heard all three on the same day was thoroughly impressed by the W7 and how loud and clean that thing could get. IDmax was the best of the bunch SQ wise and I liked the XXX but i would rather choose the dub7 or idmax. My order (no money involved ) w7, idmax, xxx.

I have owned (still own for the time being but am selling) a 13W7 and owned an xxx12. Both of which I ran in a ported box. THe 13W7 I run in 2.5^3 tuned to 30hz, the 12XXX I ran in 3^ tuned to 28hz. The W7 sees around 1200wrms, the 12XXX saw about 1300-1500wrms. IMO they perform fairly comprable. The W7 to my ear is louder (of course it is a 13.5 as opposed to the 12Xxx.) I would also have to give a slight edge to the W7 in SQ not a whole lot but slightly. I have never heard the IDMAX. But of the 2 I have owned if you have then money go W7 if not go XXX I am sure you will be more then happy either way.!!!
