[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8520110, member: 614752"] The issue I see coming is that the vast majority if modern car audio woofers are designed to perform best in ported alignment. As others have said IDQ is pretty much going to be comparable to your W3s so that's not going to likely really wow you with difference in output or sound. Also you definitely need more power if you're feeling "not enough" or if you want to get the same output with less space (google "hoffman's iron law"). The JBL GTI series subs are very highly regarded for being good sounding and handling a fair bit of power. Would be close to the top of my list of choices if I were to get into more SQ theme woofers.

Don't rule that out either if you can find them at that price point they're worth every penny IMO. [/QUOTE]
