best sub for overall performance

i just know that kickers sound alot like "kicking"

go to future shop and listen to the various subs there or go to some sound store.

i like the rockford fosgate subs they have good looks and good sound IMO....

this is just a matter of testing different sub listening to them in your car friends. go to sound / performance shows and talk to the owners...

its just this way you can choose a sub. because some ppl just like kicker others like infinity others pioneer and they all sound very distinc to me and i dont like their sound.

so go see some subs :P

That's becasue there really isn't any "perfect" or "best" sub. There is no end all. However there are plenty of subs that can do what you want and do it well. Some of the brands you mentioned are going to fulfill that need.

Like mentioned above. demo products and don't be afraid to spend some time doing this. Be subjective.

A huge factor in all of this is enclosure. How it its constructed and how it sounds in your vehicle.

Infinity seems to make a good product, have you looked into similar priced subs, like what's the competition and so on? Have you listened to them yet?

I have personal experience with MTX and Image Dynamic subs. I am really impressed with ID.

so from what i'm hearing your looking for a well rounded sub. JL W7, would do the trick but there not cheep. take a look at soundstream van gogh's. they can be had for about $180 per sub. www.soundstream.com
