I have a Directed Audio 5ch amp. The sub output is 350w RMS. I am planning to get a single 12" sub. I plan on getting a PORTED enclosure built to specs. I want a little bit of both, SPL and SQ. Which would you guys go with?
So far I'm deciding on these:
JL 12w3v2
MTX 12 7500
Adire Shiva
Image Dynamics IDQ 12

i have not heard the Shiva or the others BUt i know the shiva is a very very good sub from all the reviews. In any case i OWN a JL 12 W3V2 D2 and let me tell you this sh*t SLAMS hard and do i mean HARD. and sounds good too. Im givign it 550WRMS @ 4ohms and its luving it. go for a ported box if u decide to go with this box tuned to abotu 30-33hZ jl reccomeds 30.8 i belive but mine is at 34hZ.

I would go with the Adire or the JL. Which one of those two would be more or less based on which one I found cheaper because they are both outstanding speakers. ------------- Nik

It really depends on how much space you have. If you need a smaller box the IDQ is the best sub up there, in my opinion. If not, I'd go with the Shiva.

Sancho knows what he's talking about. "Kappa Perfect."

my trunk is pretty small, that's why I opted for the single 12. I just need to get rid of my (2) 10" IDQ's first.

I would go with the Shiva, ordering one might be a problem however. Adire is in the middle of revamping their whole line, so you might have a wait awhile to get the Shiva. The W3 is a good sub, as long as you can find it for a decent price, prices on JL stuff is ridiculously high. Take a look at the Ascendant Audio Atlas, its similar to the Shiva, if not a little better.
You can check the Atlas out here.-------------

I've been hearing about Ascendant audio lately. Any news regarding how their sound quality is compared to say, Adire's Brahma? ------------- New Project: 2003 Pathfinder
