[QUOTE="WarDrumz, post: 454383, member: 552857"] The IDMAX is nice. If your trying to stay under $400, and not get close if possible, than I'd stay away from the JL's. I've heard great things about the Diamond TDX, but I believe they require quite a bit of power. Which might require you to get a bigger, more expesive amplifier. I've owned Eclipse Titaniums. They sound pretty darn good, but they have poor cone area due to their large surround. And I don't know about Audiobahn for all out SQ. All the Audiobahns I've heard weren't that great in that department. Let me suggest a couple other choices that you should DEFINATELY look into for all out SQ. And I have owned these. Crystal CMPx2 or COMPx2 Elemental Designs A series [URL="http://www.crystalmobilesound.com"]http://www.crystalmobilesound.com[/URL] [URL="http://www.edesignaudio.com"]http://www.edesignaudio.com[/URL] You can probably get the ED A series for well under your budget, and they sound beautiful. Check their clearance rack. They have quite a few that they're trying to get rid of since they're coming out with a new model. The Crystals are outstanding aswell. Btw, don't be scared away by the price on their website, you can get them for MUCH cheaper if you search around. Both are nice subs, with a nice amount of xmax to get the bass pumping, but at the same time their very clear, and blend well with your system. Also whatever sub you decide to get, don't think that the sub will reproduce your music to the peak of it's ability if you just toss it in any enclosure.
