SQ=Sound Quality
SPL=Sound Pressure Level (loudness)

JL W7 for SQ
Kicker L7 vented box for SPL

I run 3 w7's and it's a great setup if you don't mind adding almost half a ton. IF it's straight SPL you want check out MMATS Juggarnauts. I have plugged one of these things into the wall for 4 hours and nothing happened except it hummed at 60 hz. Last time I checked they were about 5-600 bucks a piece. Mate a PPI 2400 or a SoundStream Tarantula and deafness shall follow.

sound quality, definitely W7's, brahma, IDMAX, Tumult, ED A-series, etc..

SPL...RE SE, HC, XXX, brahma, Digital designs 9500-series, etc...

Hehehe, RE(drool) my friends just got their SE 15"s in the other day and i drooled over them, i gonna be ordering my XXX 18" from them next month.

One thing you look for, is the cone material. SQ speakers will tend to have an alunium cone. This will up the price. Rember just cause it cost more, doesn't mean it is better. An RE SE cost about $200 dollars and is one of the best subs out.

i got my RE SE 15" for $145 shipped brand new. great subs. i like it even more than my E15K.

the best bang for the buck (in SPL)

I would have to second the Brahma by Adire, I have The Adire Shiva woofer, and I love it! Adire makes good stuff.

I am looking for a LOUD sub, but I don't want to sacrifice sound quality. I am looking at the 15" MTX RFL-152 and the 12" JL W7. Which one between those would be the best (I hear its the W7). Also, is there anything better than that? Price isn't an issue basically.....I am willing to spend $1500 for the sub.

elemental subs is also good bang for the buck, i had 2 12's from MA Audio i hit 148 db with the 1300 Watt amp. you should check out those subs

if you want SQ, don't go with the MTX RFL. your best bet would be W7. then i would take the better audio sub, which cost less than the brahma right now. who doesn't like saving money?

So the W7 is better than the Brahma??
