This may be a loaded question or a dumb question but..I currently have two alpine type x 12s paired to two alpine mrd 1001ds. I think I melted the vc on one of my 12s because I was playing my music loud and smelled a burning smell coming from my sub..now it doesn't hit as hard, or play as loud at lower volumes...I have to turn my Hu's volume alot higher than i used to just to get some bang from them. I'm wondering how I could have damaged the subs with that amp.
My next question is more of a comparison between the type x 12s, jl w7s, and 9500s,, I know the 9500 is an spl sub when the w7s, and type x's are sq subs but what i'm basicaly looking for out of those 3 models is a sub that can play pretty much as loud as I want and still have decent sq.. do you guys think I should go with the w7 12s or possibly even the w7 13s?

either on of those will sound nice, they both will sound better than the type x. the problem with the type x is that it needs a lot of power to move this sub. take either of the w7's or the mtx 9500 in a ported enclosure and they will produce nice lows and will have nice spl as well.

Yah..i've read that comparision page about w7s vs 9500...so a pair of 9500s will sound nice with the amp I currently have? I may go with those

Not again... the MTX is an SPL sub and the JL is an SQ sub that can still pound. Outlet comparisons show nothing. There was a pretty big discussion between the Brahma, 9500, and W7 a while back.  https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/forum_posts.asp?tid=28956&KW=9500+JL&PN=0&tpn=2 MTX's comparison wasn't that great either...

The Brahma costs less then the MTX, can play as loud or louder, and has great SQ. It would be my choice if I didnt want pay alot for the JL sub and wanted a sub that would play loud but still sound good.

I would throw the brahma into the mix. That would get my vote, with the 9500 being a close second. Ive heard quite a few complaints about the type x, and im not really a JL fan. But thats just my opinion on the matter, you should try and listen to the subs before you buy them and decide for yourself which sounds better.

Out of my tastes, i would get the W7 12'' or the Brahma, if you throw that into the mix. W7 and the Brahma are toss up woofers, so you choose which one you like out of the two, one is a lot less than the other but they do the same in output about. I like both of them.
