Which sub for great SQ, but also can handle the low notes

[rjay 10+ year member]

I've been goin back and forth on a couple of different setups, but I finally decided I am just going with a single 10" in a sealed box with mono amp in the trunk of 09 Nissan Sentra. I am wanting a great sq sub, but also want to be able to turn it up when I want to! I will get the right amp, 400-500watts, depending on which sub. Just need some input please. Here is what I was thinking.

JL Audio 10w3v3, $170, I know alot of people don't care for JL, but my nephew has a single 10 with just an average amp and I was really impressed.

Diamond Audio D610D4, $180, I've never heard them, but seems to get pretty good reviews from others.

Image Dynamics ID10D4V3, $160 or IDQ10V3D4, $240, Again I have not heard these in person, but from what I been reading everyone says they are great for sq. Also, is it really worth the $80 difference

to get the IDQ series or is the sound output not that much more noticable?

I got the prices from ebay and woofersect. Kind of wanting to stay in the $150 to $180 range, but if its worth it I can spend some more. Also I listen to mainly rap and also rock music. Sorry for the long post, just tryin to be thorough! Thanks for the help.

idmax would be top sq if you ask me.

Well the IDmax is a little bit more than what I want to spend!

Stay away from diamond. Older diamond stuff used to be awesome not the newer stuff. There is much better quality then jl out there. Can't say good or bad about ID cause I've never used it. But I hear great things.

Well you want SQ and lows...tc epic?

Must admit I don't know much about the TC brand. Looks like the price is about the same as the W3 and ID10. How would you compare the TC to these subs?

The TC and the ID are pretty comparable. The TC may have a flatter BL curve, but its hard to tell without measurements.

Well I am thinking of going with an Image Dynamics. After doing some more checkin around on the web, I see alot of people ravin about them. Guess the next question is it really worth the $80 difference for the IDQ or should I just get the ID10? Like I said I am just wanting some clean bass that works with all types of music and that can still get relatively loud without losing the quality, but at the same time I not trying to compete or anything. So does anyone have any input on these two subs? Thanks again.
