Which hits harder? You decide...

Let me preface the question with some info.

The car is a 2002 Acura RSX-S. I am running an Alpine 9885 head unit. The front components are Alpine Type R's being driven by a Kicker SX600.2 . My sub amplifier is a Kicker SX650.1 . I am torn between a couple of subwoofer options. I will be running only 1 sub in a sealed enclosure. I am looking at the 12" Pioneer Premier Champion Series Pro and the 13" JL Audio 13W3V3. I was also looking at Image Dynamics IDQ12V3. I was just curious what the pro's and con's will be between the three. I can get a screaming deal on the Pioneer Pro. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

What are you planning on spending on subs?? We can prolli find better subs for the price to be honest.

If you're worried about what will "hit harder", why use a sealed enclosure?

exactly. Your choice of subs/enclosure and "hits harder" don't belong in the same sentence //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

out of those choices, definitely the ID

however, i agree with the others when they say dont expect slappin' beatz' from a sealed box.

I get a pretty hard kick from my IB mounted sub off of 300 watts... Honestly, it's in the impression - and what you are used too. Though, I tend to feel it a tad more considering my sub is mounted to the car frame. Out of the three, the ID will probably be your best bet.
