SQ Sub choices - JL, ID,Infinity?

[MattGeorge 10+ year member]

For whatever reason my 12" infinity perfect is blown. it has been in storage forever and apparently something happened to it. So now im faced with needing a new sub and amp.

In the

I listen to most everything except for rap. Mainly rock/pop/classical

I dont care about how loud it is i want it to sound good (crisp and clean).

I use to have some w3's and i liked them. They were running on a jl 500/1 though and the perfect was running on a crummy rockford amp. So its hard for me to say which i liked more.

Which of the following would you choose? a single 12"

JL W3

JL W6

Infinity Perfect

ID12d4v3

Other Choice?

Also if you dont mind, this is going to be used on a car with OEM navigation so no new head unit for me. Will i see much of a difference in SQ with using a JL cleansweep vs a high quality LOC (navone)?

Thanks for any help

For the subwoofer, my choice out of your list would be the W6. The W3 doesn't compare, the Perfect was never too high on my list...and frankly I've never had the opportunity to play with any ID woofer other than the IDMax and the Arc Audio flatline.

Do you think the jl 250/1 is enough for the w6? It looks like the rms is 300 on the w6.

Would the 500/1 be alot better?

Any comments on the cleansweep vs loc?

Also is the SQ better on the w6v2 vs w6ae? Or is it mainly just the loudness.

The v2 would get much more expensive since i would definetly have to step up to the 500/1

Link to the W6AE?

and personally i would go with the 500/1 if you wanted to stick to JL amps.

for the money id go with w3's( i am assuming that they are w3v3's) and the amp that u previously suggested....But the w6v2 is one hell of a driver
