I currently have a JL12w6v2 pushed by a kicker700.5(sub channel) in a JL spec sealed box. It sounds good,hits all the notes,good SQ. Lately I have been thinking about selling it and trying a 12"IDMAX. I have never heard one in person. From reading the net they seem to get fairly loud and stay clean.What you guys think,get the IDMAX or keep the JL? (I plan to use the kicker to run the IDMAX)

till this day the idmax 12 is the best sub i've ever heard and does very well off just 500rms. really it's a preference issue, but according to a very reliable source (mr. marv) you'll be better off with the w6v2 as far as the LOWS go.
The LOWS are all about displacement, get as much as you can and equalize the hell out of it
Big Sealed with lots of Polyfill or Huge and tuned to 28hz (equalize any peaks out, if required) should appease you.
(2) RSS390HFs? Fi Q15...Q18 ?
Sell your W6 and buy something along those lines, with the proper amount of equalization I'm sure you will achieve the LOWS you desire.

would you let me know what size box the JL is in? What does JL use?
Try the JL sub in a test on WinISD, and see what it takes to get .707qtc. (Or I will do it for you, if you like)
My Eclipse LMT gets very, very low, but requires a lot of power. It also needs 1.7 cubes of space to do it. (Thats the 10" version)... There are a few subs that can run nice and low, but they usually require airspace to do it. Look at the transfer function magnitude graphs on WinISD for a glimpse into what it will do.

think "golden rectangle."
And if that makes no sense, then think that there is in physics, geometry, and many other kinds of math, a unique link between the principles in place from a golden rectangle, and nature. As it turns out, .707qtc will net a response curve that is ideal. At least, to most. Try it out for yourself.
Here's the response I got:

The JL exhibits good low freq. response in about a 1.85 cubic foot box, sealed. MY guess is that your sub is in a 1.2-1.3 cube box (or smaller) right now, from JL.
Notice, I put my own SW8000 up against the JL. You can see why I purchased what I did. Granted, the JL will over-power mine in SPL, but in low-freq. extension....I think its fair to say I did my homework.

i have 1500 wrms on my 12w7 (recc 750 wrms by jl) had it in for a couple months now zero problems and lots of fun
