morel ultimo vs jl 12w7 vs pg rsdc

All right guys, I have narrowed down my sub choice to a morel ultimo 12" or a JL 12W7, either of which is going in a sealed enclosure.  I am replacing my dual 10" Phoenix Gold RSDc subs, how much of a step up are these other subs and also which would you guys recommend, the JL or the Morel?  I have 1000 watts RMS (ZPA 0.5), so power isnt a problem, and I listen to new and classic rock, jazz, a little rap, a touch of country, a classical piece here and there,  i pretty much listen to anything that throws off a big stage!  SQ above all else! Opinions?

1000 watts at what load?? Also there are MANY other Sound quality subwoofers Exodus Audio ShivaX, Sound Solutions Audio Icon, Incriminator Audio Flatlyne, Peerless XLS subwoofers, Dayton Titanic...just to name a few. Custom Enclosure Design

ALso the reason i am leaning towards JL or Morel is that is what is available from a local dealer...

what is the best 12 sq sub out there? In that thread did you not say that the morel ultimo was the best  12" SQ sub?

BEST is just a point of view.

Wow, you guys are a tough crowd.  I realize BEST is a point of view, I am looking for opinions to filter through and then make my own decision. I am leaning towards the Morel just because I love their Mt-23 tweeters, but really havent decided.  I want my sub to play very detailed, hearing the string being touched on a bass guitar etc etc, yet I need it to be able to smack me in the face when the time comes... once again, opinions?

if you are looking for sound like trying to hear a detailed bass guitar you should focus more on the mid-bass / mid range as those tones aren't usually in the sub bass range. it is the mid range that gives detail to the bass range this is why a bass guitar speaker is designed to play well into the mid range frequencies. dont get me wrong though, the sub has a lot to do with the quality you hear with low frequencies but it is how it blends together with the mid woofer that will determine the results you get.

I never said it was the best...I just said "Morel Ultimo". I would love to own the Ultimo. So sexy. 5.1" voice coil. Sweet ass looking basket.Custom Enclosure Design
