Of the above...in a generalized state, here is my opinion.

1. W6v2

2. RF HX2

3. JL W3v2

4. CompVR

5. Shiva

I'd also consider a ported box in the near future.

What about RE's? Maybe some SExxx's

Another option:

Resonant Engineering SE12

Rms: 600W

Efficiency: 85.8

Xmax: .70 in

Will cost a little less than the 12w6v2 as well.

I have a RE HC12 in a 1.8cf sealed box taking 1k watts and it is amazing.

Too bad the magnums are on backorder....i was impatient and got my hc because of it, but i am very happy.

i don't agree will any kind of comparision of any sort with these but if i must mt opinion would be for the Infinity perfect 12VQ because they are created by a branch of Diamond Audio.

So if I was to get some subs made by Pyle's build house would that be good? Because Pyle owns all ya know? Werd B.
