Looking for new 12" sub: want SQL. Help!

[CentralFC 10+ year member]

So I got my first sub about a year ago (Alpine Type-R 12"). However, even though it pounds pretty hard for one sub, I'm looking to get something with a higher level of clarity with the sub hitting at the right time. Obviously I want something that still hits, but it doesn't have to be over the top.

Any recommendations for something with more quality than power?

jl audio w6v2 or image dynamics idq v2

both very good sounding subs

Sorry, forgot that bit of info.

Probably around $300. Small budget, I know. I'm 17 and taking college preparatory classes, so I have little available time, so no job. Just using money I've saved up.

thats more than enough for a 12

Alright, would ported or sealed be a better bet?

Depends on which sub you end up getting. Most likely you'll go ported, but you need a properly built enclosure. If the cost/time/trouble of getting an enclosure built, nothing wrong going sealed

depends what kind of space you have.

I have a 12'' Ia Lethal Injection that is 600 rms and loves to get down. If you are interested I can post a youtube vid.

Thanks Slayerx.

I looked at the Treo subs. Are they any good? Where can I find the prices?

This too lol. If space is a concern and dont wanna go ported the above mentioned jl w6v2 would be a good route to go.

I'm not familiar with treo, but I've heard good things

Fi Q would be a nice upgrade from an R.
