[QUOTE="Kaptain Kaos, post: 1816706, member: 568475"] Hi all, Been lurking for a while, trying to get some ideas on a sub to go in the trunk of my '06 Accord Coupe. I've got a few in mind, wanted to get some more thoughts, especially for ones I can't go check out locally. Budget: would like to stay as far under $250 as possible, but not so far that I sacrifice sound quality to do it. Enclosure: custom fiberglass sealed box behind left wheel well in trunk Amp: Looking at the Eclipse XA1000, which fits the amp budget nicely. JL 250/1 is also a (more expensive) option. What I've heard locally: JL W3v3 vs w1v2 vs some lower quality stuff. Definitely prefer the W3v3. Have also heard Arc and their Foose line, but not in direct comparison to the JL. Questions: 10" vs. 12"? I've got room enough for either, though the 10 would gobble up a little less of my trunk space. Would a 12" be able to push the sound through the rear seats better, and still do so with quality? Subs better than the W3v3 in its same price range ($220 locally)? Sound Domain has the IDQ's on sale at a nice price right now ($139). The local Arc dealer has some discontinued Arc Extreme's that he's got priced at 139 also. They sound pretty good, but I didn't have anything else to do a direct comparison against, since pretty much all his other subs are SPL subs. He said they'd rank between the regular Arc and the Foose, as far as Arc goes. Again, pretty attractive price. Unfortunately, wasn't able to compare them directly to the JL, since that dealer doesn't carry JL. How would the IDQ stack up to the W3v3? Looking mainly for SQ. I need something that can keep up with, say, Primus for instance.
