Looking to get a new sub open to

[Barrow88]

Well I've been looking around at some different subs and i have narrowed it down to about 11, I only want one and I plan on getting a Elemental Designs NINe.1 to power it, Im looking for more of a SQL driver i want the loudness there but i want it to sound good at the same time, here are the subs that im looking at as of now:

Image Dynamics - IDMAX 12" - Currently owned

Elemental Designs - 13av.2 13"

Audioque - HDC3 12"

Digital Designs - DD3500e 12"

Fi - Q12 12"

Fi - BL12 12"

Pierceaudio - WMD2 12"

Ascendant Audio - Havoc 12"

DC Audio - Level 4 12"

Audio Pulse - Revo 12"

Arc Audio - FL 12 12"

Soundsplinter RL-p12 12"

Also what type of box would anyone advise putting these drivers in, sealed or ported?

if you get a bigger sq driver you will still have good spl like a 15 or 18 fi q would sound really good and get loud.

The ones in bold represent subs that do not fit into the "SQL" or ones you do not have enough power to even use.....

yeah i know some are not really "SQL" but were just ones that I've been reading about and decided to add to the list to see what people have to say about them and the NINe.1's are rated at 1200@1 ohm at 12.5v and a lot of people say these are a very underrated amp, even though it may not be at the full RMS wattage of the sub doesn't mean that it still wouldn't be able to power it and still have good output though.

OP - Why do you want to change from an IDmax?
