I've only heard the W7 and from what people have said I would say it or the Q would be close to the loudest. I'd say the IDMax has the best SQ. Again this is from reading reviews and responses about each woofer.

i'd get the 13w7, sounds better and gets louder IMO

ive owned the Q its not as great as all the hype, it lacks on the upper end, the 13w7 is an overall solid subwoofer

thanks to all 3 mikes & others for ur opinions ...

im looking for new subs with very good to excellent sq but must be loud enough if i want to hear while working on anything in my garage

had mostly 2 12s, single 12s b4 & even a 4 10 pioneer set ...dont want any 15s since box will be way too big & IMO 15s r on the boomy side

thinking of maybe 2 10" FiQ with a single 4" aeroport on each sub in its own chamber tuned around 32hz off my orion 2500d amp in a wagon so it should be some sweet SQL ....

ehh another member on the 8th civic site installed a 10" Fi Q and didn't like it at all, he wasnt impressed and neither was i

if your set on a Fi Q, get something better like a JBL GTi MKII since they cost about the same

Ive owned the 15" Fi Q, 12w7, JBL GTi MKII 12", SS RL-S 12", JL 13w6, Alpine 10" Type R, DD 9515g, and Eclipse 6200

Don't get me wrong Chad that sub looks sexy. I even thought of dropping my XXX for a pair of them. I bet there SQ and SPL is great but we need a vid Chad.

IDMAX. It is simply a great overall sub, loud and clean. Hits every note without problem. People like to say they won't take abuse, but I doubt that the Q or the 13W7 would make it through this torture test:

I've owned all three subs
and i personally think the

13w7- loudest no question

12idmax- best sq

Q- had issues with the tinsel, but that should no longer be a problem as they've corrected their design...

Try 4 10"IDMax for best transient response and the sq should be phenominal.

You'd better had strap your tools to the bench...

Not sure why people comment on the upper end on a sub. In a true setup, the sub shouldn't being playing up in the midbass range. Your fronts should be able to handle down to 50-60hz. If setup right, you should get great performace with all those drivers. It all depends on YOUR preference.

i wouldnt let my midbass play below 80Hz... it says in the manual that they can but still a sub should be able to cover 80hz and lower and then midbass take it from there.

I've never heard the IDMax but...

I would say for a 10" sub I would say get the W7 over the Q.

10W7s are nice SQL subs and Qs get very low but overall I think the W7 is a better driver in that size.

Q..out of the 3....again price per performance is great, plus new woven tinsels..Q FTW!!! and I have heard all 3 and owned 2 of them

Idmax's do get loud, im not sure why people think they are strictly sq subs??,

The JL is also a solid choice, not sold on the price tag for one though...U can get like 2 Q's or almost 2 IDMAX's for 1 w7..lol

"Idmax's do get loud, im not sure why people think they are strictly sq subs??"

I have a theory about this.
Either A) They haven't actually heard them or B) They have a cock shoved so far up their stupid ass that it kinked off a nerve to their brain.

And yes, if you wondered, I am the voice of reason -- someone had to step up.

I would def take the IDmax over the other 2. Ive heard all three of these subs and it takes the cake IMO.

Brad and CB i completely agree that its supid people think they dont get loud. One of my boys had 2 12s in his explorer and it was very impressive, mid 140s with 1200rms.
